I got a 10 point from S&W and I sat in the garage saturday trying to figure something out.

It is a simple welding question that I am sure someone has the anwser too.

Here it goes:

How do you weld the top of the front A pillar bars to the halo?

The way I look at it the main hoop I can weld to the halo by leaning it forward. For the rear bars I can reach the top easily.

The really issue comes in when I think about the front bars, how can I weld the top side of the bars and still keep the halo high near the headliner. Obviously if I take the headliner out I will have a little more room but is it enough to get to the top of the pipe to make a good strong weld?

Any tricks??

One other question is where the door brace and A pillar post meet at the firewall, how do you get to the frontside (nearest the firewall) to weld it to the floor plate? I want to have it as close to the firewall as possible.


Any tips or tricks anyone can give me??

Here is how I welded my wolfe 10point, lets see if this makes sense

First tack in the main hoop and the bars that follow the roof and run down the a-pillars to the floor. (Make sure you just tack them)

Then tack in your Halo and Dash Bar

Once you are happy with the location of the halo and dash bar weld all you can get to of them to make sure they dont move

Then break loose the tack that connects the main hoop to the 2 roof bars that run down the apillars to the floor

Once you break those 2 tacks you can lay the roof bars with the halo and dash bar down on the floor of your car, then it makes it easy to weld all the way around

Then put the front part of the cage back up where it needs to be, and weld to the main hoop

Here is a BAD pic i made real quick I hope it helps
