Talking Pics of my new roll cage!

Got her back friday and got everything back in and goin, just gotta put a few more panels and a lightweight carpet in eventually, let me know what you guys think. It's a 10 pt chromemoly 1-5/8th tubing. Window net didn't come in in time, so I have to bring it back when it does.

It was $1600 to cut out the old roll bar and fab up the new one, I pulled and reinstalled the dash myself, don't know what he would charge you if he had to pull and reinstall dash.

And thanks guys!

Thanks guys and yeah, definately a killer deal, chassis engineering wanted $3000, I was like **** that! Cuz i'm sure it wouldn't have been as nice as this one either, he custom built it to make it real comfy and so I would fit, cuz i'm a pretty big guy at 6'1 and between 280 - 290.

It was either $100 or $200 to cut out the old one.

I'm digging the gussets in the corners of the main hoop..... It looks alot like mine only I bought the Alston 10 point which goes around the dash and doesn't require you remove it..... here's how it looks with the window net up in place.... that price is about right. I paid my guy $750 cause it was agreed upon before he knew how much work it was gonna be... And you can barely see them in this pic but he did custom seat mounts for the headrests on both seats (struts off the crossbar with steel plates that are drilled and tapped for bolts to secure the headrests to the cage).... I ended up giving him 900 cuz I felt bad... Yours looks badass as well.... i gotta go get me some of them corner bars now...
