rollcage in a customer car!

[Clueless]

Are you saying you ARE a certified welder?

Not slamming you but they're some ugly ass welds if you are.
(uneven globby bad penetration and the surface rust won't be helping the integrity any, I've tested a steel cage unfortunately so have an idea how important it is to get it right)

A "certified" welder is a very broad category...what type of "certification"?

and yes i am ASME crtified

and till now all my cages pass nhra certification 8.50 and some 7.50

i do what my customer want and can pay for, if he ask for tig welds i did tig welds and trust me the welds were more clean that way, unfortunatelly i also was in a race crash before and inside one of my creations thanks God i walk away unharmed but i feel what you say.

trust me i have seen shity jobs, but i respect your opinion bro!

my beads never look like that, do you tack each part and eventually all the tacks make up a bead?

this technic is called stitch welding and is done like you said but it got to be in a continue non stop high heat range maner to mantain the proper consistency and penetration of the weld.

but like i said practice makes the diference!

gotcha, is this any better than running a continuous bead?

Was that your widebody 240Z?






As for cages, how much would people be looking at to say, put one in a Supra?

Rob: Yep it was.....

Keeping in mind it's RHD here so ALL of that damage was on my seat.

damn men i know what you feel myne was in the oposite side and it was the worst experience plus at 165 in the 1/4 when the rear tires gets soak in oil it is not fun bro you hit that guard rail hard almost knock me out!

LOL I hit hard enough to kill me a few times
(once in the ambulance and 2 different times on the table)

Coma for 2 weeks and 3 months flat on my back.

[IJ.]

Clip:Thanks but "ok" is debatable

yeap thats very truth! you got to tell me whats the intentions on the car and whats the class u are going to run, i just play by the rules there is no way i will go arround them mate! than and just then we can talk about price,

just a baseline on my work;
6 point rollbars mild steel 1 5/8 x .120 mig welded will go from $900 and up that include all parts and labor.

same in chrome moly 1 5/8 x .049 tig welded starts from $1,800 and up

:aigo: i couldn't build someone else a cage, too much stress. i'll build one for myself and that's it.

looks like you do good work. i would like to see your tig welds though.

good luck.
