Re: New from detroit and my 2nd marriage.

No sorry i don't. I used 1 1/4" schedule 40 pipe, I read a article on dom vs "pipe" and the stats aren't significant enough to justify the price difference. It was 2.20 a foot and I think I used just over 100 feet for the cage.

Another 30 feet was for the seat mounts and 5 point harness mounts.
I also used the mounting plates fom diy4x4. (qty 8)

All the bends were done from a harbor freight bender.

I started with the top on it and made the 2 main ribs that run from the windshield to the tailgate, then supported up front at the "a" pillar.

If you have a welder and bender this wasn't that hard to do, and it was the reason I bought both, it was my first try at anything like this. The labor costs of a shop justified the purchase of the welder.

If you want specific pics let me know, I am leaving for the week, but i will post what you need when i get back.
