Chrome Moly Cage is done, and I have not seen it yet. John is hiding it from me, LOL! Seriously. I have been doing the thrash with multiple cars going to this auction next week and I have not had time to even check it out yet. John spent most of the week with the amazing tube benders at Coast Chassis shooting pics for the magazine article and stealing tricks.
A dozen people have asked why we did not build the cage? Yes, we absolutely could build the cage. But a man has to be one with his pipe bender to get things right the first attempt. Chrome Moly costing what it cost, John and I would have destroyed 5 pipes per pipe. And at the end of the day no matter what we did, it would only be half as good as the guys at coast have done, whom I truly think could do this blindfolded. Add to that the fact these guys know the rule books and know what is REALLY safe and what is fluff, and the decision was simple.
Big thanks to my old friend Ed Nash (jr2226) for introducing us to the great guys at Coast.
This WILL NOT be our last project with Coast. We have quickly developed quite a friendship and appreciation for one another talents.
