Finished Pic's of my Cage!

Hey guys. I pick the car up tomarrow so I'll take some more pic's then. And yes they put the rear bins back. In the pic he took they're not there, but he re-installed them today. Line lock is in too. Overall, Im very pleased with the way it turned out. Nice thing is, you can't even tell it has a cage from a side profile pic.

How much weight did the Roll cage add to the car?? basicallly how much does it weigh.

I don't know exact figures, but everyone, including Demetrios and Ray have told me that Chrome molly is almost half the weight of mild steel.

Man, what a nice job they did!! They hole the cut into the dash was exact!

No swingouts right? How tall are you and weight? (just to get an idea of how hard it is to get in and out)

I wish I saw the pics of your cage before I did mine lol.

I saw the post on the front, looks nice.

Anthony
