Now that's a slick idea, using tape to get a rough idea of the location of the cage. Looks good. My only suggestion is to use some kind of tubing notcher. Fit-up can be just as important as the welds.

Nice looking car. :righton:

PS. I go to school for welding.

That tape looks pretty strong all by itself I'd say. If you just use duct tape, with all that triangulation I think it will work great! JK, you're off to a great start, keep us posted.
