9.99 ET

135+ you need a window net (not often checked), so that = halo to attach it (no more 6point)

You can weld chromoly with a mig, but it will not pass tech. NHRA does not allow it... however in other industries, it is acceptable.

Well I def trust your opinion, since this is what you do for a living. I had just heard that multiple times in the past and just recently from a metallurgist. Which is why I brought it up. He also said the bars in a MS cage would bend more than a CM cage before snapping.

Eric, do you guys do the jig notching like Wolfe does if you pay extra? Seems like it makes the install much easier.
