Great Idea, but a properly done cage should be welded in. Bolt-in Cages are, IMO, just for looks.

Im thinking about making one myself actually. A girl I know has a brother who is into the metal working junk and has a tubing bender he said I could use so Im thinking about messing around making one of my own too .

this will have a cross bar now on how the cross bar is designed is a debate i want it to cross early so that it will not go into my storage bins. i will be posting pics of the process through out this week and should be finished by the weekend pending any major disaster.

Rotormotor try it but you might learn soon that you will bend a lot of pipe before you can get it perfect also make sure to buy the correct grade of pipe cause i recently saw a guy turn a car over that used sub par pipe and it just crushed in.

Also all cages will have tangs welded on for a 5 point harness. after mine is done we can knock these things out. as for the bolt in weld in issue yes welding is stronger but we all must deal with the means we have . trust me though if you bolt it in or weld it this can be a life saver. My boss is making me put one in the v8 car cause i scare him enough in the milkd street port i have.

Well, $1.00 is less than $300. I'll buy one for $1.00.

cody nice ride but not today

iotis we are designing the cage where you will have to remove the cargo boxes and notch the frames to fit around the pipe. I will include the a pattern to cut them to fit. like i said it will take a bout a week to have the four point in min i will post pics as we go sso you have some idea. it should look real good when we are done it might be the only thing on the v8 car that looks good.
