Yeah, just sitting around doing nothing. Weather has been nice but my knee won't let me get anything done on the Duster. Getting a little frustrated and bummed. Other than that, living the dream!

I finally got around to adjusting those new headlights on my truck - more of a PITA than they should be... frikkin' aftermarket crap

I hate that crap! You'd think they could come up with a easier way to get it done.

I get that! That's why once I get the front and rear suspension in, it's heading to my buddy's shop for the cage work. Not going to try that myself!
I found something at Auto Zone, black 32x47" cargo mat, but a FABO member says get rubber because vinyl sucks, and I'm pretty sure this is vinyl.

do you care what it looks like - as in, does it have to have a pattern?

Not ever again I take it?
No I don't care that it looks original or anything, to me a trunk is purely utilitarian.

exactly - I doubt I could contort myself like that these days... the front is not that bad - but get toward the back seat area and UGH

Wait until you see my cage design, it's like a spider web and gonna be a biotch to get right

wait 'til YOU try to weld it in!!
See this is where my genius comes into play, the cage will be built 85percent outside the car, then I drop the car onto the cage, then weld the floor in, weld the plates to the floor and boom, fully 360 degree welded cage

that'll be multi-pic worthy!
It will be lol, it'll be a challenge but the best way to meet all the rules and yet tuck my cage tight against the body. I hate cages that sit 3-6 inches from the sides of the car
The stuff I ordered to replicate the decals that '71 Furys had outboard of the headlights came today. Wish I'd checked the mail before dark. It is a very tough and flexible material made to go on windows. It looks like a good match for the matte finish of the aluminum. This is just a quick cut-job, what goes on the car will be better. Also I got too close with the camera, it's only about half as large in real life.
