    he said $2100 for a full cage. I figure I'll get the 5 point for now and build on the rest slowly as I get more funds.

    so that includes a roll bar the starts behind the driver's seat, loops over the behind the passenger's seat and welds to the floor. Then there is 2 bars going back to the trunk and weld to the trunk floor (that's 4 points) and then there is one bar that goes from my left shoulder down and welds to the floor next to my left foot.

    the place is called Bullet Fabrication
    Ste H, 10039 Prospect Avenue
    Santee, CA 92071-4380
    (619) 448-0081

    The guy's name is Mike, really nice guy. He was giving me a ton of options and suggestions. Can't wait to get the car. Should feel stiffer. But for some reason he was saying for me not to do the subframe connectors. At first he was telling me that I don't really need them and all that. Then he said he would have to weld them through the floors. I figure it's just something me and Bryant can tackle.

    I'd really like to keep it as a daily driver. Of course once the hp is in the 3 digits I'll reconsider. :clap:
