FAWK! Need a Cage! Can Anyone help me Weld in Cage?
As you guys have noticed, the bumper supports are rocked. They need to come off and I need to takem off. I dont feel safe driviing like that so I'm going to order a Cage.
Can anyone lend me their welding talents for a few hours?
Thanks

So instead of new bumper supports you're just getting a cage?

If this is a street car, wear your helmet to the grocery store.

Trey,
Need to add my $ .02 on this one.
You are right about the bumper supports being there for
energy absorbtion, but by eliminating the core support and
adding a cage you eliminate the chance for the car to
absorb energy and YOUR BODY absorbs any impact energy.
A cage will help stop the passanger compartment from
collapse, but a more ridgid structure means the energy
has to go somewhere. The energy will be transfered right
to you!
I think your effort would be better spent repairing the bumper
support structure, then replace the bumper support. IMHO.
