Thanks for your input Tom! I think you're spot on with that take on the cage, I really like doing things myself but the cage being so fundamental to the build and potentially critical in keeping me from being dead... I'm going to get a professional to do it. Talking to a couple of shops now to make my pick, but I'm fortunate to live near a few really good shops that regularly do Pikes Peak Hill Climb cars (among other cool race series) so finding a good shop that knows what they're doing for hopefully a reasonable price doesn't seem like it'll be too hard.
As for coilover bracing, that's a good point I'll just have to make sure it's legal for the series I want to enter in. I remember when doing the cage for my E36 one of the rule books specifically restricted that.
Fortunately I did myself a favor when installing the rears while I had everything stripped and welded in the bracing kit from Elephant. So even if I'm not able to run the cage to towers it'll hopefully hold up for the most part... time will tell!
