    I dont suppose you've weighed the cage. If not too late can you?

    yes,no problem!

    I made this cage to be detachable, so soon, I'll tell you the weight
    These pipes are very thick, it has almost 1/8 wall

    then it will be a bit heavy.

    in fact, when the car is ready I'll also weigh it :thumbs2:

    Why did you splice pieces together? You could have used a tube bender to make those bends.

    They look like pretty tight bends.

    looking awesome, i like the cage.

    BTW i have the same valve covers and i absolutely hate them...trying to clean in between the fins is ridiculous..then they look ugly, i think i'll just be buying some welded aluminum ones soon.
