    I'm fabbing up my own cage. Theres nothing more gratifying than building something with your hands rather than buying it! If you know the "know-how" and have the materials and tools at your hand, then I think you should just go for it! The cage is going to be mild steel and I'm going to TIG it. I'm pretty good at arc welding, but I can get better "coining" (what we around here call a nice weld that looks like a row of coins that have been laid out) with a TIG. I'd like to use crome-moly...but if my boss man saw the tab, he'd probably shot my a$$.

      Sounds good. I just learned to TIG myself a couple of summers ago.

      Treat us to some pics of your progress!

        Sure! I've been looking to get one of those digital camera things...just havent had the time to go out and shop around. I do have pics of the ttop conversion I did to the car. It was orginally a hard top (duh). I'd like to learn more about having a website so when I do get a digital camera I can put them on there along with other custom work.

        I'm actually going to repair a quarter panel as well on this car. There is some body work to take care of but I have to get that quarter panel done very soon. If you know anyone with experience on replacing quarter panels or anything like that just give me a yell!

        Oh yeah, and TIGin is really awesome. Theres just something with fabrication and welding that makes me forget about everything else in the world!
