Default My Custom Cage Build Thread

OK, so started it yesterday. Did all the mock up and made a little make shift cage out of cardboard to get measurements and ideas. Using a Hobart 220v Mig welder and 1.5" EOM piping. Not going to do the door runners until i get my seats from corbeau, cause that wouldnt be to sweet to do it and them not fit but you can pretty much get an idea of what it would look like. Here are some pics of the mock up, should have it welded in by the end of tonight and will update tomorrow with finished pics. Enjoy and please don't try to tell me how to do things.
