Mr. Ed,

I had flashbacks of the building process after seeing these pictures!

Ben - The car is getting a 12 bolt. The main reasons for the solid axle was is cost and familiarity. Pictures will be posted soon.

Thanks for the ecouragement guys.

The roll cage was a pre-bent Jegster kit. All in all I thought the kit was fairly well put together. The bends had some deformation which is expected with a non mandrel bent tube but all of the required pieces were there. I used an 1 5/8” hole saw and a carbide bit to make all of the fish mouths. I’m by no means a fabricator but the welds and fitment are presentable. The welds were made with the Miller TIG.

Will the '90 dash bolt up with the same brackets and fastners as the '84(direct replacement)?

I'm not a tech guy but if I were you I would find one and ask about the master cylinders and aftermarket pedals. I've never seen that in a stocker.
