I dont have the time to read through this entire thread before posting (library time limit)...

Not the best cage, but I do believe that it will do what you want it to, which as far as I can gather is:

1: Stiffen the car.
2: Not break
3: Support the vehicle enough that if you do crash, you aren't DOA

Rock on for taking the initiative. You do need a bit more practice with a mig welder though. Im not trying to flame you...so please don't take it that way.

i have no clue man. I dont know much about welders, in fact I really want to learn more about welding. All I know is the schools welders are MIG, and has gas.. I could adjust the watts and wirespeed.. pretty awesome, you can really fine adjust it to the metals thickness.. but yeah whats fluxcore? the wire that comes out? teachh me guys & flame me... its a autobody class so the teach hasnt really gotten into detail on the welding... I kinda just learned myself and classmates showed me...learned it on that 300 dorra cage haha. I heard tig welders are better for cages because they fill up more?

The welds look like you had the wire speed turned up to 11 and the amps turned way down. Lots of weld build up but no penetration.

yeah I noticed that too, I changed the settings on the last day i welded it in , and it was penetrating through the chassis.. My chassis underbody caught on fire lol, had to blow it out. I guess theres like sound deadening or some coating thing flamable under the chassis..

well I gots class tmrw, and will be practicing welding more
