is it at all possible to pull just the top dash pad and drop the down bars through with the dash still in place, then do the cross right up under the very bottom of the dash

It is too cold in PA to brush that on. Unfortunately, I have to take it to an auto shop to have it sprayed in their heated facility.

My brushed on por15 in 20* weather.










Not bad for the cold weather and no prep work(cleaning)


Will sand it some and give it a second coat once it gets warmer out.

Really?!?!, cause when I went to the expo this weekend, he was there @ his booth......

How about we keep this thread cages, not you QQing cause you don't know how to make a phone call or look for someone.


When I called him on friday he told me he was just getting to the Oasis to meet someone for a rearend.

I have honestly met Eric 3 times. When I went to go pick up my car, the rims I took with to put on my new shorten rearend would not work. He let me use his billlet's to get my car home and was just like bring them back to me at the expo.

Tell me another shop that would do that for someone they bearly even know and this was the first time ever getting any work done from him....


Yeap, Eric is a really bad guy......


Do us all a favor and go hang yourself.


k, thanks.

Now to throw a monkey wrench in this thread... How many people have AC with a 10 point? Post pictures of how you ran your vents and trimmed where necessary.

I don't have A/C, but if I did, it would not change the layout at all.

Very Nice cages... Mine is at MWC getting an 8 point as well. I'll post pics too when it's done. Although I'm sure that it looks the same as the rest. lol

Any updated pics? I'm wanting to take my car to Mwc for a 8.5 cert cage. Would love to see some pictures with interior all back in.

I know this is a super old post, but has anyone else done this with their MWC cage? Any details on doing this? Sounds like the main hoop and rear bars are the "rear assembly" and everything else is the "front assembly"?
