I had to take the wheels and coilovers off to clean the backside just to get it to weld at all with a tig. I borrowed a mig from a friend but its garbage so I just stuck with the tig. Thanks for the tips though, some of the positiions Im in to weld this thing you wouldnt believe, but I manage. I know, that’s why I understand they are the way they are, lol. However, the welds on the bars should be tightened up a bit. Do your dipping closer together. I’d definately believe… I’ve had to some serious welds in some seriously f’ed up positions… I’ve had to use mirriors to do some welds because I simply couldn’t get anything other than a mirrior, my mits, and a torch… (the back of a pipe close to a wall) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/cage-build-time/115332)._
