We ended up putting a tube all the way through the frame and attaching it to a plate that wrapped the frame

Also started building the parachute mount



You can see the plate around the frame and it all ties into the parachute mount

Also plated the rear bumper area for more support

Once it was all welded up, we sent it over to our friends at Painthouse to put some color on it

The guys at Painthouse sprayed the cage Cyber Grey to match the car, but use a satin clear. It came out great

Now that looks nice and cosy in there, great looking cage.

Are there safety rules for the cage in standing mile or do they use another sanctioning body's rules??
