This might sound silly, but I'm going to ask it anyways because it has always given me trouble, both on Red Baron & on other projects - - how do you get the glass to come out in one piece?

One of these and or the related tools.

Wrong, I had a glass guy from Grants Auto Glass come in and do my Silverado and he used a purpose built OLfa knife. He "scratched" thru the seal all the way round. It takes TIME to get a window out so be patieint. The other methods I have used are Zip cut wheels and the old method of smash and vacuum!!!

This suggestion is from the well seasoned veteran CRASH MEYERS with experience in racing all kinds of "stock bodied" race cars.
Duct tape it...hit it with a hammer, then cut the rest out with a sawzall...5 minutes..

Spent the whole day on my car and it was productive. Got the windshield out and rerouted the ECM harness back towards the interior theres a couple of open spots it could be stuck in. Hooked it all back up and it runs still so that's a bonus

Ok boys it's been a while but we were hard at it today
This is a CSC cage that I purchased from a wrecked Varney Mini Stock

I would have liked to have purchased brand new but the truth is we just find enough money in the budget so we do what we have to.

The cage being from a Mustang doesnt quite fit so we had to narrow it 2"

The cuts were all sleeved and rewelded

The cage now fits in the car with the roof back on and once we get a racing seat I might fit in the cage ;)

We cut most of the grill out to get better air into the rad, I think keeping it cool might be tough.
As a side note the CSC cage was from a totaled Mustang but amazingly it didn't have any damage which made it a perfect candidate for being recycled into another car. AS you can see this is a garage and driveway build so we truly are kicking it ole' school

i have built many minis like this...when i do this i usually sleeve the 2 halo bars above the driver and top of windshield...and then put new bars across behind the seat and across the dash...i then put new uppers to brace where the sleeves are...great pics, this is the most inexpensive way i think, to build a car...just need to find a good cage to start and that looks like a great one...
just wondering if you mounted it to plates or to 2x2 or some channel...
