really??? i paid a 170 for an 8pt…

welding in isnt’ an issue… just takes time to line it up, cut / weld.

i think domination will make it all…

I dunno this is a 10 pt so it has all the piping through the dash. that is the problem I was thinking that the S&W would be cheaper since all the fab and bending is done it is pretty much set in and weld

Sammy its a rough fab … you do need to have it angle cut and notched to weld properly. So it will cost 1000+ still

I looked into it already … and have talked to some people and I am going to get the kit and have them install it 100% so I dont run into any crap at the track.

PS as they always say if you cant afford a race car dont build one.

so steve you are buying a S&W or other NHRA kit and having domination install it? if so that was my plan too but didn’t know if Jay at domination would be down for that

PS- I didn’t want a race car but the new rules force me to have one

20/20, id’ go to jay at domination and gladly pay for his services… he even has the materials… when i fucked up my lower brace i went and he recut me one… identical material.

i have put a few s&W cages in, have been very happy with the results. Why does it have to be MIG for welds to be big enough? only has to have good penetration. With TIG the welds can and usually tiny in comparison to MIG.
