if you dont remove it before youweld, it will smoke and possibly catch on fire.

Four. If I see an orange glow from under the car I stop and put it out. It's too much work to crawl under there and scrape.

how do you know???

i have the same cage 8 pt for my eg... after the interior is fully stripped ill be lookin for someone to help me weld it in. ive never done welding before.

Why would you think you could weld over that stuff? I still burnt a little but the floor is so thin you gotta go hot and fast in small sections. I'm about to do a 89 crx. Full race around 12 point. I'll post some good pic maybe do a full write up.

LostAndFound

just wondering..is that mild steel?

read again,
we are talking about the coating underneath the car, not the sound deadening stuff inside.

Sick im getting the same cage at the end of the month for a red EF ironically enough! Keep up the good work.

In for the pics of the finished product.

I am looking to get an S&W 8 point for my EF soon. Probably within the next year or so.

just wet down the undercoating, thats what i did and it worked out great!

JT2MA71

I just froze the undercoating with dry ice, then chipped it off. Comes off in big chunks that way.

Not a S&W...but here's my sedan's bar.

The going is slow, wouldn't be able to make a living at this. Try to work on it about a 1/2-1 hour in the evenings. The main hoop and crossbar are trimmed and tacked in. The rear plates are formed to the floor and welded. Working on the rear braces now. I dont know any of the tricks so I cut them long and trim em down a little at a time, dont want to end up too short. The pics are'nt turning out very good.

DiRty96

thats a pretty good design. Like to see the back.

Chiovnidca

Finished it up.

Wow... that actually looks like a decent fitment for a S&W kit.

Thats not a SW kit.

Got a 10point cage kit from Jegs.

Got the plates formed to floor and tacked in place for the main hoop.

Any tips on marking the ends of the main hoop to trim them to fit flush?</TD></TR></TABLE>

The finished product looks great

I love the fitment with the a-pillar, very nice!

gitwidit

I like the cage, looks really good Robin
GL at the track this year

Thanks guys.

speeddave

how much of a hassle was the fitment/notching of the dash? looks like it turned out good to me.

It wasn't hard, hacksaw and a die grinder. The right side looks great (i think) but i got in a hurry on the left side and took off a little more than needed. Still it looks ok.

Hey, looks really clean. Good work. I think I'll pick up the Jegs kit as well. Is it just called the 10-point Roll Bar kit on their website?
