I did all the fab and got a little help from Jeetyet, and my son Chad has done most of the welding so far.  We are using schedule 40 pipe   (flame suit on) which I got free.   The bender is an old rusty harbor freight kink bender.   The welds look a little rough cause we're out of c25 and we're welding with straight co2.  Total investment so far.......my time.  I think I'll have plenty of triangulation to make the cage safe for me.  All the main pillars are tied directly into the frame.  Here's Chad doing his thing....



Also bent up a rear bumper while we were at it.  It wraps around the side and has some kickers to keep the wraps from tweaking...



That's where we are at right now.  I will get a plate of aluminum cut and bent to go over the top for some shade this summer.    Also got a new fuel pump that has a little more capacity.  Last one has slowly been going down hill.   I can't even hit the rev limiter if I try.....should have some more pictures hopefully tomorrow.
