Sometimes it's hard to find someone who is really qualified to install a fabricated cage properly.I seen some cages that were installed by socalled fabricator's that were down right scarey.For the DIY that has no welding or tube notching skill's this is a real nice pc. If your are not going to be doing any door to door or real fast on track driving I think these tiger cage's would be right for PT car's being built.Think of this point,even this cage is better than a weld in cage installed wrong. If the joint notches of a weld in cage are not properly fitted and then large gap's welded up IMHO this joint now is not as good as the joint the tiger cages is designed with.Plus the stainless tubing would real nice w/the top down on a convert.Ride tech make's awesome componet's for the PT world that don't have a complete fab shop at there finger tip's.And if your already have a completed or finished car totaly disassem. and coving all the glass and head liner takes time or money.Plus it will need to be primed & painted which could cost quite a bit also.The tiger cage has it's place in the PT. world.I think it's a great product and wish I would have thought of it.

thats great news but the product is still $500 above the cost of a full custom cage.
Before it's properly welded in at $50-100/hour. Like said before, you don't want average joe and his 110 wire feed putting a cage together, or blasting welding slag all over your glass and interior if it's an assembled car which the Tiger Cage is very well suited for. I've seen a pro shop ruin a $700 piece of glass while installing a cage.
