Well it has come time to break down and cage my ride because I keep getting told I can't run past the 1/8th. I just have a few questions for you guys that went with a 6 pt.cage.

I am most likely gonna get a Wolfe 6 pt. 4130 Chrome Moly cage with swingouts, over the rear seat, and low side bars. Should I get it jig notched? Also what complications if any did you notice from/after the install? Is there anything that I need watch for.?. I know that chrome moly stuff has to be TIG welded. What is the wieght difference between the regular steel and Chrome moly? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would go mild steel (DOM not HREW) due to the fact that 4130 is difficult to weld properly.

not only that, the price to weight difference isnt worth it. As for the door bars, if you get the low slug version, dont get the swing outs. Your hurting the strenght of the cage already by bending the bar, then adding a swing out into the equation takes away even more. If you go swing out, get straight bars. The purpose of the low slung bar is to make entry and exit easy, but the purpose is defeated with swing outs. IMO Low slung bars and swing outs together should be outlawed by the NHRA. Just my 2 cents.

My ride has a custom chrome moly 6pt cage with swing doors. Found a local fabrication shop that does excellent work and had them do it.

LETHL_SS- I would like to see some better pictures of your cage as I can't see much in the one you posted thanks.
