building a cage for my BII, i'm posting it on my build thread bt I thought I would also post it here. Using 1.75x.120" DOM, with a few pieces being 1.5", like the seatbelt bar and some of the gussets. This is what I've got so far, I bent up my b pillar with 2 8 deg bends about 17" up from my slider, and then the main bends are 82 deg to make a full 90, then I notched a peice of 1.5 for the seatbelt bar so that it is 2" below my shoulder when I am in the seat.
the next 2 pieces are the down bars, not sure on the exact angle of the 2 bends but they are 5 deg off of each other so that they kick in where they weld to the floor, here are the pics I have, I will post pics as I go.
btw this isn't me but my buddy, he just doesn't know how to use a camera so it looks like he is doing all the work haha,
he was supposed to work on it a bit today(our shop is at his house) so hopefully he takes pics of his progress, let me know what you all think
