Well we finally started the cage work.
Starting the A & B pillars.

During some preliminary measuring Scott Moldenhauer of M&D Motorsports found a mistake i made with the placement of the C pillar base plates. In order to get the Mandatory 30 degree rear down bar we hade to move the C pillar base plates back 4 1/2". Scott really know his sh@t when it comes to cages.

Cage looks sweet!!! I wish Mine was that Tucked. Question, why have the tube land on that plate?

Looks like a good start on your cage.

Thanks Scott does nice work.

The plates will be welded to the body as well as bolted to plates under the body that tie into key suspension points.

Nice work. I'm just interested to see how he's going to weld the tops of those joints.

As you know welding all tubing on the top of these cages is a challenge. My plan is to tack as much as possible then remove the bottom plate and cut a hole in the body to allow the cage to drop about 2 inches. this should alow me to get the clearance to properly weld the top of the cage, when done I'll weld up the holes and return the cage to the origanal location. Picture to follow

Sorry Grimm i missed your post. Here you go.

thanks! Its rare to see a cage that tucks that well in the rear. do you plan to run plate between the cage and the body once it's fully welded?

thats a beautiful node in the center of your b pillar... you must be a patient man!

your cage shares a lot of design cue's with mine, that makes me feel better about my work!
