finally built a cage!! what ya think so far?

[broncomitch]

i wanted something differant, and a rear halo built off my roll bar and my front down tube's going behind my dash. that was about the only idea's i had for it.

im digging it so far, we ran out of time with our barrowed bender so didnt get to finish it.

going to make a bumper alot like WELNDMAN's where going to run some tube along my fender's so they have something to bolt on too, and also run tube along where i cut my fender's and tie them into my bumper's and some more stuff to the cage.

pic's of the build.

more comming

Good job notching! Are you using Bend Tech (software) or just doing it all by skill? Is that 1 3/4"? Came out great!

 

[broncomitch]

the wiper motor really kicked out butt's, we didnt really want to go under it but for sure didn't want to go in front of it,so after alot of thinkin we desided to put a bend in it and go under it. so the end of the tube will be in the middle of the bend of the down tube's. it's a tight fit but it clear's and we both love it.

The down bend to clear the wiper motor gives it a mean look!! I like it.

 

[broncomitch]

I also have no idea what color to paint it...?:?



or the bead locks if i deside to run them.

 

[broncomitch]

off to finish my sliders.

im just dead. helped my bro build two pretty big decks all week working 13hr day's in the sun and get to go back tomorrow and paint them and worked all day yesterday on trying to wrap up my cage..

im ready for a nap.

 

[Prizefighter]

Those bead locks are sick, awesome rig. I see that Rockstar energy drink too.

 

[johnnybgood74]

i think it looks pretty damn mean with the droop in the center of the cross bar. looks kinda like one that is in the buggys. good work on the notching too.

 

[broncomitch]

lol, ya, i hope if i drink enough ill become one.

there are a few things i would like to change, one is that bend be just a little more. but i can live with it.

there will be a bar in the middle going across then one more from the middle of the main hoop into it.

im not in love with the sliders..but they will do for now. still going to do a bit more work to em like angle off the ends and fill them in.

that's all i can do for now..gotta get ready for our mothers day party and after tuesday i need to hit the job hunt full forse..

I noticed that too. You need a welding blanket. They are cheap at Harbor Freight. I bought 4-5 to cover my truck when I am welding on the truck or welding or grinding on something else in the shop.

Funny that you mentioned that! I was gonna comment on the same thing. I had some sparking damage the Linex in my tub actually. Hate to see what they are doing to those seats.

On another note, the cage looks awesome!

seat's are junk, full of rip's and what not and they sit a little high so i want new one's anyway.

but ya, the seat's got a few more hole's now, windshild is fine.
