I got some pictures from the guy that's doing my cage and thought I would start a thread to show you guys how it's going.
Basics: It is going to be a partial 25.5 cage because I have no clue how fast I will be going in the future so it made more sense and was more economical in the long run to do a partial 25.5.
(For those that don't know a regular 10 point cage is good until 8.50's then after that they require a SFI spec of 25.5 which is good until 7.50's)
He said that the main hoop is bent and will be installing that this week and starting on the rest of the cage.
I will keep this thread updated with pictures when I get them.

Joel I would have done the same thing. Looks good keep us posted on the progress.
Yeah it just didn't make sense to do anything less and if/when I go to finish off the 25.5 it won't cost me much at all.

Yeah -8 feed and -6 return lines. I can't take credit for the lines tho my Dad ran them and made those brackets. I think they look killer and also help keep everything clean and organized. I know if I did them they would have been zip tide to the frame rails LOL.

He said a month when we dropped the car off but I don't really care as long as I get it back by the end of Feb I will be fine. I am away at school right now so he can take his time, it's a lot of work to do.

I know it may sound dumb compared to the rest of the work but I really like how the subframe connectors and the driveshaft/crossmembers came out. Very clean overall, good work
