Sup guys. Got some pic's of my cage going in. When its done it'll look like it belonged there from the factory. Im real pleased at how it turned out going through the dash. To give you some spec's its Chrome Molly, full 10pt. (9sec. legal) cage, window net, camera mount, and line lock. Place thats doing it is in Delaware call Rhodes Custom Auto. They're painting it black too.

Thanks. Line lock allows you to do a burn out easier by locking your front wheels only.

Ahhh, thought it was that, did not want to look like an ass and take a stab at it. I remember Dave installing that on his car, and he never used it(to my knowledge).

Cheers! 12-23-2005 12:39 AM

Very nice. Are you going to stress relieve the chromoloy after the welds are all done?

ErnieT 12-23-2005 03:58 PM

UPDATE: More pic's.

Progressing well!

teknics 12-23-2005 05:54 PM

Ernie: how much is that costing you? If you dont want to say on the forum please PM me, delaware is pretty local to me and I'm going to need a cage installed in my FC unless i feel like getting booted from englishtown everytime i go there.



also did they strip the interior, or did you? will they make it all fit back in there or do they leave that up to you as well?



let me know please, thanks.

No seat crossmember??? Strange to have a cage and not put a seat crossmember in it.



What about the door bars?



Looks like a 6 point to me, that isnt a 9 sec cage. That isnt anything more than a 11 second roll bar.



Also why did you decide to eliminate the rear bins? Not gonna look like it was from the factory without the rear bins.



$3150 is a very expensive price too. Line lock costs $100. Window net is $50 and camera mount is not much. Basically 3k for a half way 10/6 point cage??? It does look good where it penetrates the dash......... but you better never have to pull out the dash.

Are you a ******* idiot? You must be. Oh, I see your from West by god Westminster. That explains it. You must have been tipping cows when they tought how to READ!

It says PROGRESS pic's rocket scientist. In case you didn't figure it out yet, that means its not done!

NaughtyFD 01-04-2006 08:41 PM

Damn you are a bigger dick than I heard you were, you didnt have to make it personal but I have noticed that is your style. You dont have to get all pissy at everyone that doesnt ride your jock.



The fact that it isnt done doesnt change the fact you are getting ripped off, you can never remove your dash, that it aint gonna look factory without rear bins or with them hacked up or does it change the fact that your heap is slow https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png How much did you spend on you motor and still run a 10.7?.....more money than brains apparently. Maybe if you could learn to do anything yourself you wouldnt be so clueless........



Oh and you are the rocket scientist, if it is a TRUE 10 pt it is legal down to 8.50 moron.



Why would they paint the whole cage and reinstall the carpet before they did the door bars and seat crossmember?

Ok, we'll go one by one on the multiple things you've said that are wrong.

1. You made it personal. No you don't have to "jock" me and I didn't expect everyone too. You RAN YOUR mouth how my cage was missing this and missing that when all you had to do is read.

2. Don't be "hate" because I am sucessful in life and don't have the time to do everything on my car. So since I have the EXTRA money Im within my rights to spend it any way I want. lol....Even though I have the means and know how to do it myself. Demetrios taught me as much as I need to know right after KDR screwed me. So don't worry about my knowledge. I probably know more than you do on rotaries.

3. I ran 10.7 spinning my ass off at only 25psi and it was the first time I got in and raced a car in over 2years *******. Nobody gets in a car with no seat time and busts off a 9 sec. pass.

4. My cage was certified this past Friday so its legal to 7.50's.

5. So next time before you shoot your mouth off, you better have your facts straight and not assume things.

6. One more thing. I'll smoke your ass in anything you car to build.



Oh, btw.......my motor didn't cost me a dime. Ray built it free as well as all the tuning.

1. I never made a personal attack in my first post. Just strange they painted the cage so it looked like they were done.

2. Not hating because you THINK you are succesful in life. Doesnt change the fact you are over paying for a 10 pt cage.

3. Never said they did but I would guess a faster ET than the last time you ran it with much less power.

4. Ok you got it certified before it was finished? How is that done? Right now it aint legal except to 11.0 so which NHRA official broke the rules and certified your cage before it was legal? Sounds a little shady to me.....

5. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

6. For someone that insults someone for where they live you sure have a problem spelling. You want to make a date, we can throw a couple hundred dollar wager for you to smoke my ass? Everything but building my short block was done by me and my redneck ass in West by God Westminster so lets line em up big time. You aint gonna scare me off.

Ok, I was a bit vague. It was finished Friday. I don't have pic's yet becuase I don't pick the car up till this Friday. But don't worry I'll post pic's with the FINISHED ones just for you, WITH the bins.

As for et., the 10.7 was a "perfect" pass with my red car. I never backed it up. This 10.7 pass was probably my worst so I have no worries.

And I'll take your ignorant Westminster money anytime, but ya better bring more than a few hundred to make it worth my time. Have a nice life.

Worth your time? Capitol, MIR, Mason dixon they are all within 2-3 hours of both of us. Whats it gonna cost big baller? Already trying to weasel your way out of the race?



Typical mouth writes checks your ass cant cash so you raise the stakes to some ridiculous amount to avoid a race front happening. This aint my first rodeo guy......

OK Top Gun. LOL.....You big stud muffin you. Only way the stakes are too much is if you little ass can't step to the plate. $1000 it is. Say April sounds good to me. Tracks will be open by then. As far as where, Capital is a good middle ground between the both of us. Bring it Maverick, Don't sing it....... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif

Top Gun? The actual line from Top Gun is "Your ego is writing checks your body can't cash." Close but no cigar. Holy crap step into the 21st century. More like it is a Limp Bizkit line old man.



Ok. We will shoot for April time frame. Come over to the Northeast forum where we can chat further about it outside of your thread. Oh and make sure that camera mount is in the car and point forward when we race......I would love to see my tail lights accelerating away at a high rate of speed

Really Sunshine? Looks like I already got you pretty scared. Anyone want to make a side wager that Princess here backs out of the race and doesnt show or trys to not pay?

Just bring your money Mullett man. I truly hope you plan on spraying the **** out your car, cause you don't have a prayer.

There isnt any **** in the car. That was my first weight saving move. I already sprayed all the **** out of it. I hope Sunshine realizes the mullet jokes are real original.



Hey are we gonna lock this money up so I make sure you show? Doesnt have to be right now but a few weeks before the race.

LOL Here it is the attempt to change the agreed upon date to try and gain some reputation back.



Sorry Sunshine I am in Ft Dix, NJ right now. I have my shitty low paying job that I need to go to or I cant scrap together the money to get my mullet cut down.



Oh and just for the record I dont race on the street. I have to much to lose (My shitty no paying job, my redneck house, my white trash possessions, my family and my freedom) to risk racing on the street. Plus racing from a roll is for Ricer punk biatches. Real men race from a dig, at the track.



All you need to do is show up when and where we agreed upon (We can get more specific about the date when the time gets closer). Word on the street is you have to be forced into paying your losing bets so I will require that we lock the money up with a neutral 3rd party to ensure you show up.



YOU layed down the CHALLENGE to which I agreed. YOU layed down the DATE, to which I agreed. YOU layed down the LOCATION, to which I agreed and YOU layed down the MONEY amount to which I agreed. YOU made it personal. If YOU wanted to do something else YOU should have thought about it before you opened your pie hole trying to be a big man. Now unfortunately for you, you realize you opened your pie hole and mistakenly inserted your foot squarely into it.



Are YOU going to stick to what you agreed to or are you going to be a ***** and backdown?



Lastly, I know I am just some redneck country bumpkin from Westminster but even I know tomorrow doesnt have an A in it. McDonalds must have lowered their hiring standards to let such an illiterate bastard to join the work force.......

I figured I'd shut your punk ass up quick. Word is you didn't do **** on your car. You had somebody build the motor so give me that **** you did this and you did that. And I didn't say from a roll. From a dead stop and I said tomarrow because there isn't a track open. I figured you'd bitch out as soon as you were called out. Word is your car isn't even running right now. I know more than you think little boy. Oh, sorry I don't type on a keyboard all day so Im not a secretary that has those nice typing skills like you. As far as what I do...lol........Im a Master Plumber with his own business that did over $300k in sales this year. Sorry about your luck. No patty flipper here, but you seem to know the business of McDonalds pretty well.
