Another amazing cage from Tyrone! Great job. How do you bend you tubes? Lighter, candle, ... ?

I use a lighter to make my bends Glenn...

Thanks again Rick...

Nice work on the cage. The stance on this one is killer. Couple questions......

Are you going to open the doors?

What are bull horns?

Ron.. yes, I am going to open the doors.. I usually do that after I get done with the cage.. the body is more rigid and I do alot of putting the body on and taking it off while building the cage... Bullhorns are the extended collectors, the come out the fenders angled up....

I also added some styrene to both sides of the firewall......the firewall on the pro sportsman chassis is angled to get narrow as it gets close to the top of the firewall.... this is the first step in making my mounting for my door hinges... thanks for looking in and comments welcome...

Thanks alot fellas... I really appreciate it... As far as the color, this may wind up being a commision build.. someone is interested.. but If I did go with orange, would the white vinyl top look good on a race car ????
