New or revised rollcage looks tidy.

Thanks, but that's the same old cage. The cage modification project may happen after the dust settles from this sliding block madness.
Speaking of which, I got most of it buttoned up today. I spend a lot of time visualizing how projects will play out. What materials and tools I'll use, what approach, back up plans, and such. In my mind, it was going to take an hour or two to fit everything together before proceeding to the last step of fitting and fastening the differential trailing arm.
But like most of my bigger projects, this one fought me at every turn. Things didn't want to line up just so, which is a must because everything has to fit together based on predrilled holes. And there are a crap-load of holes throughout the trunk to mount the yoke, diagonals, and brace.
So I spent a lot of time today shimming, cursing, massaging, persuading, and despairing. I even broke out the vintage Snap-On punch and chisel set to make holes line up. "The choice of better mechanics"? so what am I doing with them? What should have been at the most a couple hour task (in my mind), stretched into a whole day.
Ultimately, minus the trailing arm, it got done. Everything is where it should be. I have a trunk full of M8 fasteners to prove it.
