take a look here

put the main hoop in and seatbelt bar havent welded them in yet but waiting for a buddy to help hold in in place.



also did some tig welding still not great but i dont think its that bad

 

Nice to see this still going.

 

yeah you know how things get set to the side lines at times im tired of just looking at it and not gettin any where so i set a goal to have it driveable by next thanksgiving. maybe not completely raceable but driveable

 

cool, Ill be tuned in

 

subbed...just read through all 17 pages, very interesting read! Looking forward to seeing more.

My dream is to be able to fab and build like this...

one day

 

If you tigged that, it looks filthy.

Next time, after you grind the metal clean at the joints, wipe it down with acetone right before you weld it.

Let acetone evaporate first. Then weld it.

 

yeah that was a practice piece of metal its not the cage i was just foolin around to see if i could do it

 

just an idea, but it would be a cool if you sold lt kits with every thing cut and bent sort of a do it your self kit to keep price down.

 

it would be cool to do something like that but.... its a liability thing. if someone takes the kit and puts it together and doesnt do it right they die or get hurt i get sued... and i still havent seen how it performs on my truck yet so that idea is way way down the road if i thing ive good a good product.

 

well i didnt get much done today my friend decided to buy a god damn ford so i had to help her with it.

this is all i got done today

 

got the second bar in the hoop would of worked later on it but my neighbors hate me already so i had to quit

 

got some more work done check it out

heres the full main hoop with the x bracing



had to take out the side windows out for better welding access



and finally removed the front windshield

 

lookin' good!

 

thanks taco if you skip holidays you have more time to work on trucks

 

Looking good!

 

it has been a good christmas this year. i got more work done on the cage heres some picts


the passenger a pillar from the front


the same a pillar looking across the cab


and where the a pillar goes through the floor to the top of the frame


heres both pillars from the front


both pillars through the cab


from the other side


i might catch some flak for how close the cage comes back to the pedal area


but i think i fight just fine in it

 

sweet! keep up the good work!
