    I guess I need to buy some sticks. For those unanserwed questions here goes.
    1. It ended up being $100.00 to make them and ship them most anywhere in the 48 contiguous states. While I cannot say that price will still be that, it sure will be in the ballpark. I do know that the last 2 sets I shipped cost me more. So if you figure some increase in steel cost and shipping, you might figure $110.00

    2. They are weld in only.

    3.The steel is Nascar certified rollcage tubing.

    4. You will have to do some final grinding to mate them to your car, though it is real close out of the box.

    5. They will hang down approx 3". And cannot be seen unless you do a muffler check as I call it.

    I will post here when they are done, for those who have stated that they want a set, I will not hold you to it as life sometimes takes the money out of your back pocket at the worst times. I am pretty busy now with work and other projects and will realistically get them done sometime before Thanksgiving.

    I would also like a set of those when you get them done, and since my car is still in the some day stage I'm not in a hurry. So what's the count so far? I think it's ten sets!

    I like the looks of the round stock a little better then the "big" square ones that I am currently running.....I think the round ones will be better for me so when I re-do my cage I can just bring the strut bars down to the subframe connectors and weld them together....... = very strong.

    Go ahead and put me down for a set also Dan (seriously) . I have a set of Chassis Engineering ones that are still in the box (they are square tubing) ...but I think I would be happier with the round ones.

    Update on subframe connectors... looks as if I have 13 sets that are needed. We are going to produce 15 sets before thanksgiving. Then I will box them all up and get them weighed for shipping. By that time I will have it all figured out on the price if there have been any increases in steel cost.

    Dan,
    I'll take another set off your hands. Figured I better get them now, because it looks like they will not be any available again. So but me down for a set. They will be for my second Maverick.
    The count is now 14 sets.
    Thanks
    Allen Small

    OK...Ok...i'm sold...put me down for a set also. I noticed Mavaholics were installed during a rotisserie? Can the car just be jacked up on four corners during installation and get the desired effect?
    Thx Rick
