Default Formula gets certification for 8.50 this weekend

Yep, things are starting to move along nicely again on the 94 Formula project that started October 08. I bites that the price of certification just doubled in the last month though.

That looks awesome! I am looking to do the exact same thing really soon in my 93. I just got my cage the other day. I think they cut the main hoop a little short. Could you measure the height, total length of your main hoop, and the top square? Mine is supposed to be for a convertible. I'm thinking it should work, but it is looking like it is going to take some work.

Thanks, I bought it for $150. I knew I would have / want to redo some of the bars, but for the price it was hard to pass up. I was going to buy a Wolfe towards Christmas when they normally run their 20% off sale. For some odd reason this year their cages were only 8% off so I decided to hold off. I hope this one fits.
