not a mechanic. I'm a Welding QC inspector with a Mechanical Eng background. My buddy that's building it, he's a carpanter and a really good welder. It's not a day process. The whole cage is thought over and it's been more then a month process.
Again on cages there's no guarantee if they'll hold or now, depending on the sittuation! S..t happens but I'm not planning on rolling it! It's my daily driver! But one thing's for sure, I rather roll with it, then with a stock one! but I'm hopping that wont happen :P
Forget about the " is it safer Blaa blaa blaa"........I'd put that thing on for looks alone, as long as it was as safe as the original, and that looks much stronger!

i dont know if there is enough room for the flat bar... its pretty tight between the door and the dash. but that is what i am hoping for.
The flat plate of steel it's CRAP!!!! even with poisson spyer! it will not hold!
The way we done mine: Bent tubbing from the top part straight down, coming in front on the "rottating" vent, then bolted to the body, sandwitch plate 3/16" thick, then the bottom will be welded to the chassie

We always debated that crap in the race world, I had a 10 second street/strip 97 Camaro SS and with the cage at the track you wore your helmet, on the street you knew there was head/body protection but dreaded a mild fender bender due to cracking your noggin on the cage even while buckled up.

nice, it'll be much safer than the stock, no doubt. Anyway you could always put the fata** padding all over it ...lol...talk about look funny...but I would definitely pad certain areas in the head swinging around area at least...
