Roll cage prices

[Outlaw5.0]

I might get banned for this, but oh well.

Lets start with how much is your life worth?. Seems like many lives are only worth $300.00 to $1000.00. You need to worry about the weld integrity, the bar placement and etc. Many roll bars/cages have bars that do nothing, they just look good. I would rather spend more money and be sure its done right. I want the chance to walk away if there is a accident, I want my kids to still have a daddy. How stupid do you have to be to cut corners on safety equipement?. Maybe I value my life more than others.

I agree 100% with you sir. I wasn't trying to get the cheapest work or cut corners. I was just wanting a rough idea of the price. Thank you to all that replied

point taken, counter point........

you dont always get what you think for your money.....sometimes

look up a thread on yellowbullet, called "anyone remember wes's outlaw car" or something close to that............ they 85/86 gt had a 25.5 or .3 cant remember, installed by a VERY well known chassis shop. inspected and certed by NHRA.........upon further investigation by DMC race cars........ummmm not so much. welds blown through, welds not complete. basicly DMC had to cut the whole cage out. pics are on DMC's website. ill do look it up and post links.

I agree but it still isn't changing my mind from doing my own work. I have invested a lot of time on research, I have the welding and tube bending experience. After seeing some of the cars rolling around the tracks running way faster than I ever will I am willing to take my chances. I once saw a car running 7's @ Milan that looked like RTV would have held the car together better than some of the welds.

I'll take my chances, I am pretty critical about everything I do. I might waste some material in the process but it will be right before I am done.
