    Here's what I have for the front. Looking to do the rear in a few weeks. Once I'm done with the whole cage then I'm pulling it out and painting it. The floor was just tack welded for now. I still want to add some handles with like some 1" tubing

      Did you order the kit or do the bends on your own?

        Got the kit from S&W Racecars, for $250 shipped, you can't beat that unless you know how to bend. I don't.

        I got a quote from a local shop for a cage, and was quoted $1150 for a full cage to the floor installed, not painted. I'm about $450 into this for the front installed, probably another $200 to finish the rear. $650 for a full cage.

          I agree 100%. The pipe looks good. Who welded it?

          Why so much for the rear? What are you doing?

            I had Bo's buddy weld it. the limo stretcher guy.

            I figure roughly 15 ft of .120 dom, $70-80 since you have to buy it in 20 ft. lengths. and another $100-120 for labor in welding and bending. I just need 1 piece bent. the one that will go across the back. I estimate around 200 more.

            After its done I'm pulling it out and painting it. The front floor is just tack welded so I can grind them off to get the whole cage out.

              Are you doing the sides like mine too (in the rear)?

                yes the same in the back. but I might add one more in the bottom straight across to add handles to the rear. not sure yet.

                  If you do, shoot some photos. Would be curious to see.
