finally built a cage for the bronco, what ya think?

[broncomitch]

I wanted something differant, and a rear halo built off my roll bar and my front down tube's going behind my dash. that was about the only idea's i had for it.
im digging it so far, we ran out of time with our barrowed bender so didnt get to finish it.
going to make a bumper alot like WELNDMAN's where going to run some tube along my fender's so they have something to bolt on too and help support my core support, and also run tube along where i cut my fender's and tie them into my bumper's and some more stuff to the cage.
pic's of the build.

more comming

the wiper motor really kicked out butt's, we didnt really want to go under it but for sure didn't want to go in front of it,so after alot of thinkin we desided to put a bend in it and go under it. so the end of the tube will be in the middle of the bend of the down tube's. it's a tight fit but it clear's and we both love it.

I also have no idea what color to paint it,

or the bead locks if i deside to run them.

I was shocked to see that you were in Cheston's garage. Where is his mustang?

Cage looks good.

 

[broncomitch]

well last time the bronco was in with it, the bronco fell off the stands twice and smashed the mustang's rear quarter, so we figured we would just keep it outside sense they don't get along.

there will be a bar in the middle going across then one more from the middle of the main hoop into it.

still going to do a bit more work to the sliders like angle off the ends and fill them in.

that's all i can do for now..gotta get ready for our mothers day party and after tuesday i need to hit the job hunt full forse..
