Finally making some progress again on this one!!
Me and dave have been spending some time at the shows, which has put this on backburner, but we're back to it again.

Keep up the good work. I want to see how you are going to mount the amp and 12 in between the roll cage. Was the cage hard to mount in side the car? From the prebent tubing in the first couple of pics.

Me too.. lol.. Na, we have a plan, and started making a few pieces to the box, but need to see some progress before i post any more pics.


Well now that the cage is done, i'm almost wishing i bought a bender and built from scratch. I like the way i turned out, but it might have been a little easier if i had a bender on hand.
We had to order seperate pieces for the door bar and had them bent, if i had a bender it would have been easier, that is all.
