Speaking of the cage, it went to powdercoat today and if I'm lucky, the car will be ready by the weekend!!! Fingers crossed.

Well she's back from powdercoat. Can't wait to see it all back together. Here's a sneak peak from the shop owner.

Holy crap you get stuff done fast. I would kill to have local services like you have.

Looking great! Think they can fab another one to ship to me? lol

Wiggins3377 · 05-22-2014, 08:54 PM

If you're serious I can definitely ask.

GaleForce · 05-22-2014, 08:56 PM

Is it weld in or bolt in? I'm assuming weld in.

Wiggins3377 · 05-22-2014, 08:57 PM

It's actually bolt in. I had to be able to remove panels, etc. so I went this route. They may have had to weld in footers though. I'll find out for sure.

GaleForce · 05-22-2014, 09:04 PM

Cool let me know.

Wiggins3377 · 05-23-2014, 08:44 AM

The owner of the shop said he would let me know about making these and shipping them out. Would anyone else be interested? If I had to guess it will cost north of $1,000 USD for a raw (unpainted/ powdercoated) cage. They cut me a sponsorship deal since I'm local I also had mine powdercoated which cost me an additional $250 and went into my total cost.

Wiggins3377 · 05-25-2014, 03:01 PM

For those who don't follow me on Facebook. Here are a few more shots of the cage. These show how the amuse bar complements the purple.

Cage looks amazing Wiggins, very nice

Wiggins3377 · 05-27-2014, 01:05 PM

I had the shop lower the front of my car when they were waiting on the cage to come back from powdercoat. For $50 it saved me the headache of pulling the lower strut mounts and brackets apart again. Although I love doing my own work when I can, I didn't think I would have the time before Offset Kings in Chicago next weekend, plus this weekend will be claybaring, waxing and polishing time. I can still drop the fronts and backs an additional .5" or so, but I didn't want to do anything too crazy before my Works get here. Now I think I need to get some spacers for the front to get a little better fitment.

GaleForce · 05-27-2014, 04:09 PM

Damn thats low!

Meulen · 05-28-2014, 07:17 AM

Don't go too low before heading to Chicago! the roads here are awful for that!!!

Luckily I have the luxury of being able to raise my car, hopefully it won't be a problem.
