I wish I had the patience to TiG an entire cage.

Re: Roll Cage Pr0n

I can't remember the site anymore (but I bet one of you knows it off the top of your head), it's some Finnish company that builds WRC replicas (vintage WRC replicas?) and they had about a bajillion photos on their site of how they build WRC-spec cages. Total cage pr0n. I bet that Spank knows it by memory.

MotoIQ has a good cage pr0n of a guy who builds WRC cages in England who built a cage for his street car

I probably did see it, but can't remember since I glazed over at so many when I was trying to understand this stuff for my first cage. But please, don't give me any credit for knowing what the hell I'm doing: I'm as lost as anyone; just stupid enough to give it a go, is all.

One of these days I'm going to be able to lay some welds that I'm truly proud of. There was one cage at Thunderhill (I think it was Going for Broken '10) that the guy tig welded the cage and then just clear coated it to show off the welds. Friggin' sweet.
