Did a little more work last night on the roll cage. Stripped the floor where the a-pillars come down and then welded on the mounting plates. Because of the way the floor sits in that location we used 4"x5" plates and we will make the floor flush when it gets welded in place. We also coped the tubes to make them 100%. Next step is to put a tube about 6" up from the windshiled on the top of the cage. This way it will not interfere with the soft top latches. I’m also going to get some pvc caps from the hardware store today and cap off the hvac vents in the a pillars (underneath the dash) since the cage will be interfering with them.

**3/1/2011**  
Did a little more work this weekend. Tacked everything in place, now all i need to do is trim the dash, make sure it fits then pull it all out and paint it and weld it back in place. I made some cardboard templates yesterday and marked where the dash has to be cut but i didn’t have a 2" holesaw at the shop so i’ll be cutting it friday. Anyways, here is some pictures with the top bar taped in place:
