Thank you sirr! Golf is my first passion. I played in high school, went to state, full ride to a D2 school in Florida. I have played all around the country and was ranked 5th in the country for my age division. I dont play in that many tournaments anymore. Next spring, i am actually going to try to qualify for a couple nationwide tournaments. I want to be a pro, but i will never know unless i try right? Dont ask me how i got into Evos lol. A friend told me about them and the rest is history hahaha.

Cage looks great man! I am definitely interested in seeing the weight of the car once everything is done!

With the weight savings im doing plus the weight of the cage when everything is done im looking forward to seeing what it is also. I am weighing the car at the first track day if it is open. Same place where i weighed the car last season. Anywhere is the low 2600s or high 2500s is fine by me (without me in it)

Thanks Bud! I have not heard of him. What part if Florida is he from? I played in a ton of tournaments all over in Florida. I might know him, but the name doesn't sound familiar.

Thank you! My signature was kinda big, i made it a little smaller. I dont know why it would be annoying. It's all of my times and goals i have done in the past. 8s to be on there also

Thanks for sharing the pics Joey!

Please don't take this the wrong way but is there a reason for the extensive bars in the rear of the car? I don't think i've ever seen a cage done like that? Looks like a road race style lol but i'm sure it's very safe back there.

I would think that you would be keeping things to a minimum for weight savings.......either way it came out nice and i'm anxious to see the rest of it (front section and chute mount) when you have it all done up!

I too will be making a note of what Chris said about the M&H slicks as i may try mine out when the car is ready.....thanks again for the heads up Chris

Hey Pat,

Since this was the first cage i have ever done in a car. I really to be honest didnt know what to expect. The company who did my cage only does certified cages. He works on mostly muscle cars, dragsters, pro-stock everything. I got asked the same question but to me it doesnt look excessive compared to others ive seen. If im doing a cage, i am doing it right ya know.

The excess bars by the rear windows i guess is just how they do it. I asked them there what do they think this cage weighs in the car and he told me 65 pounds. It is chromeoly and is certified to 8.50s. I think all companies do it a different way. I will say though it turned out amazing. I am leaving actually right now to go pick it up. I am going to give it a bath and will take some pics for you guys Stay tuned!!
