Thanks! Not many people have seen this cage in person, so the feedback it greatly appreciated.

I use a JD-Squared Model-3 that I converted to full hydraulic operation. MUCH easier/convenient than manual style bending. With a manual bender it has to be stationary (solid mounted to floor) with the hydro style I'm able to roll it around my shop.

It wasn't designed for any specific type of racing. He'll mainly be doing track days and just having fun. Wanted something save to drive incase the unthinkable happened... He's close to 600whp.

The stock dash bar is quite real! It's also very stout. It'll do just fine.

I'm saving for a legit notcher right now! Just trying to decide which one will be the best for me. Trying to keep it under $2,500... I'm liking the look of the Baileigh TN-300.

The 1.75" die did all the bending. It has a 6.5" Radius. The 1.5" die has a 5.5" Radius but wasn't used for bending. Only straight sections were used.
