Easier to focus on making the welds as perfect as possible! Do you weld your chromoly with red tungsten? Well done as always, keep it up

Thanks! My old cage fitment and my tig welding capability was at a beginner level. Now that I have 10 years on tig welding experience, I wanted to make sure I could be proud of this cage.
It has not been easy. The design of the cage, assembly steps, and being able to weld it has been a challenge, due to being so close to the car.
I planned ahead to use a micro torch when i made the fitment so close.

Looks good! 1G love!

I was able to take the floor bars out to finish weld them.
