....today I woke up at 6:00 and started cutting, buffing, and welding (well actually my friend welded)...part of the cage in !
I'm pretty stock how it came out. My friend Aki (the welder) did a wonderful job ! Very nice clean welds, one pass, very consistent.
I cut the tubing, cut the plates, measured everything, buff the chassis, then it was time to sand down the bars and the plates, I ended up painting it with some flat-black rust-oleum....(see Gary...
....thanks for bugging me so much...
).
In a few weeks I'm going to replace the OEM front bar (which supports the steering colum, and the ECU), and weld in a solid 1'' 1/2'' chromoly.
Then later on this winter I will continue with the side bars (doors-bars).
Anyway, lots of you will probably ask for pics (as usual...:doah
...bare with me, as I am in the process to actually buy (finally) a digital camera...
I'm really happy...
.....kinda Christmas time-feeling...
