Not to keep beating on your cage guy but...Independent of the roll hoop not being a single piece, those braces don't go to nodes which is really poor practice. It's not that hard to cope a tube to fit into a node, rather than just cut it on a mill to fit onto the vertical tube. I've built a few tube frames and cages and would never, ever, let anything like that leave my shop. That's all.

I really can't wait to see more progress! This should be a really cool car when it's done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

FYI

When you attach the calipers you will probably need to remove the powder coat on the trailing arms and front struts where the calipers sit. The powder coat is thicker and will space the caliper off center of the rotors.

Good advice since this guy don't know shit about brakes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

I actually wondered about that because I powder coated my trailing arms too. I hope Eric shows us what his solution is.

This is one of those threads that you wish was 15 pages long and you want to peek to see the end result!

You would have to go pretty heavy on the powder coat to make any difference. You can mask them by installing a short bolt and washer in the caliper hole. I haven't in the past and never had a problem.

I was going to make a list of everything that's wrong ahead of time but, I thought it would cut the post count down dramatically. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Bought these same wheels for my utility trailer at Tractor Supply.

And they gave me a free hat, unlike some vendors........ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Ummm no... guess again. Oliver Green which is correct for the vintage. John Deere is correct for the later stuff. Just funny iFone filters making it look weird.
