Awesome work on the cage Pete, way to go on that detail, I have a question, is regarding the filler primer, I just shout today on my Dodge body and body parts, first time doing that, and I need to sand couple spots and add some styrene to others, how long I need to wait to start doing those things in you opinion, that was today in the morning but still feels wet, so I don’t want to damage all my hard work on this project and the paint is my main concern
Thanks in advance

Well you have to wait till the primer is dry of course...What are you using for primer??? The stuff I like to use is lacquer based...Flashes off quick and dries fast. Most primers, you should be able to sand on em within a few hours. If your stuff is still wet after a few hours...Somethings up.
I'll post up a pic of the primers I like to use for you in this thread...
Thanks for the nice comments fellas!

Whoa Ho HO!!!! That right there is some real fancy footwork on that roll bar and winch. Man doncha just hate it when stuff don't fit right in the closing stages of a dang build man? I can't begin to tell you how many times I have test fit, test fit and MORE test fit to ensure everything'll line up perfect and then BAM!!! Right at the end of the build I'll be danged if something don't fit right. Very frustrating. Looks like you're pullin' right on through the troubles though Pete!! Nice work brutha!

Your too kind Marcos...Thank you sir... Thanks Paul!...lOL...If a 9000LB winch and a 48 inch farm jack cant get it done...Seriously though, If I had thought of that before you mentioned it...The jack would have been mounted on the roll bar somewhere, like it was supposed to be originally. |

Speaking of done...This one is D O N E... Go see it in the finished builds thread!!!  Don't know what the next project will be but it will be interesting I'm sure... |

The front cross bar goes right where the instrument panel goes...Not cool. Had to cut it out and relocate it higher up to clear the instrument panel. Also had to shorten the rear down bars and add length to em to get the mount pads to touch the floor. Once that was accomplished some sanding and filler primer made it passable. Also, I used the original front crossbar to make a proper main hoop support. It was lacking this detail and looked incomplete without it. Its finished in gloss black and will get installed later since I have other things to do to this beast that will require turning over like a turtle several times for fab work...
Excellent work. Paul
