That is one hell for stout roll cage.

The build is looking great! :cheers:

Heavy duty :-D. you might want to consider cutting the corners of the triangles back a little just in case the unthinkable happens so the rescue folks can get the cutters in there. just a thought.

That plating appears to be low enough to not hinder the Jaws cutting the top off to get you out.  But if they try to take you out the door, it could hinder progress.  Any guys on the "cut team" looking?  It might be a good idea to send pics to the tech guys.

Bals.... looking good... I seem to recognize those tubular gussets and center windshield (Earnhardt Bar)... Great Work.





I sure Like the FC cage option you added.. No way I could fit in there,, that is why I opted for the custom fitted 1/4" thick full containment seat... 

good luck and keep up the good work..
More Pics...
