11 hours next time call me Brotha, I have a Miller mig in the garage at home. Zap that **** together in NO TIME! Otherwise I can tig it up but would need more notice, I also have access to the bender at my buddies muffler shop now. So if anyone local wants a CUSTOM cage shoot me a PM and I can take care of you. I'll guarantee it to Cert to what ever time you like 7.50 and slower, Funny car style bars, swing outs, camera mounts, you name it I can do it.

i dont think that would make it any easier... all i had to do really was take the ttops off to make it a lil easier, and pull the carpet back. Unbolting the front seats is a good idea too
