So as of yet, I still haven't finished polishing up the paint job. Truth be told, I'm not a great painter I found out haha. I think painting in the winter definitely had it's drawbacks.. One of them being my coats didn't dry very evenly and I have plenty of orange peel! Luckily, I have a ton of clear coat too ha. Some panels actually looked pretty good, some not so much. Here are some pictures of me hating sanding. Freaking orange peel.... Anyway, plenty of that left to do. I'll save it for later though. Now for some fun parts! About a year ago I made a website for a fabricator in exchange for a roll cage in the Z. I've been procrastinating buying the supplies needed but finally it all got figured out and planned! The only unfortunate thing is now I needed to remove the windshield to make things easier ha. That was a brand new gasket. I'm sure there are ways to save it btu I've already broken my last windshield so I figured I'd rather buy a new gasket. Out it came! I threw the engine back in as I knew he'd need it to see clearances. No tranny though so I strapped it all over the place to hold it ha. Ready for pickup! And she's off! At this point I am stoked and can't wait! Getting closer! I did want to initially do the cage myself but I figured I'd let it be done by a professional and it wouldn't be any less cool. -

@Boben That is really good to know. I just looked it up! Do you not have to worry about the paint coming off inside? -

@Boben Thanks, it does look spiffy! If I remember correctly it is a little warped but I don't foresee a problem with it after bolting it down as it's pretty slight. I could be wrong but I haven't done a pressure test yet! I would agree that if you're able to use more of the original pan material then you'll probably have less chance of warpage! I can keep you updated after the pressure test for my results though! -
Keep up the hard work! You're smart about it all! I did a majority of the welding then painted, not realizing how much I'd change my mind about what I wanted before being done. Now I have to repaint over all the welding haha.
