A full, in depth video of how to design and fabricate a roll cage. A customer brought us in his gutted Nissan 350z to build a full cage in. He is driving the car in the "Champcar" series so there were some specifications and rules that we needed to follow when designing and building this cage! Hope you enjoy and thank you all for the support.

This video rocks! As a veteran bender from doing custom exhaust tubing for 16 years, I’m getting ready to build my first cage. I’ve been trying to find videos on cage design or even figure out what hoop you start off with. Your video was extremely informative and you actually explain everything with the hows and whys you do things the way you do- which is very similar to my teaching style. Thanks so much for putting in the time to make this. Subscribed!

This is a fantastic video. A few years ago I built my own cage in a 240Z, and while it turned out OK, I wasted a lot of material with screw-ups and mid-course corrections. If I had seen this video prior to the build, it would have helped immensely.

Thanks for sharing of your hard earned experience and wisdom on general fabrication tips and tube bending do’s and don’t’s as well as your reasons and methodologies on cage construction. I really do appreciate that you explained your reasons and logic on various points in the construction of this cage. That was really helpful. Although this wasn’t a cage for a drag racing door car, the general approach, materials, construction and thinking are all the same, to keep the driver safe and add major rigidity to to the chassis. Thanks a ton, bud !
