    The lost art of REAL metal fabrication. No fancy machines doing it for you...just a man that knows what he is doing & great at explaining it in simple terms. Brilliant.

    In a couple days you will see this car on Adam's LZ collection ;)
  • It was funny seeing Adam LZ's video tonight and him mentioning this video. This is the very first video I ever watched on your channel.
  • That clock on your office wall in the beginning of the video is SICK lol.
  • I don't ever comment on youtube videos, but I had to take the time to tha k you for this video along with all the tube bending and notching prequels. this has EVERYTHING I need to be able to make my roll cage for my Trans Am. your video demonstrations have answered so many questions. you could teach this stuff professionally if given the proper forum. thank you so much. good work.
  • @cwojr
    I've been following you for sometime now. Got to tell you, your information and work is bar none the best I have ever seen. I enjoy every bit of detail you share. Rock on!
  • @scon2006
    Brilliant, i would have happily payed for that video, great work
  • @mnkb2
    By far the best cage video on YouTube. Thanks for taking the time to explain. I learned a ton. I'm now confident enough to start my cage on my XJ.
  • Thank you for all the knowledge you have shared over the years! My inner engineer just can't help but to mention that "tolerance" and "clearance" shouldn't really be used interchangeably since they are different things :)
  • @AMetalWorks
    One of the best videos I have seen on youtube. Thank you buddy. Your attention to detail is something I really appreciate. I'm the type of fabricator that likes to trouble shoot every possibility that my brain can muster up when I build things. I'm glad you covered all of those details to help explain why you're building this the way you did.
  • @YouLikeToast
    I find myself instinctively closing my eyes when the welding arc is on the computer lol. I have to tell myself that it's ok to look. & THANK YOU for this video.
  • @EccoH_
    Who’s here from Adam?
  • @denisefaith6653
    I'm watching this two years later, it's very interesting, may I say here in Australia the bar across the windscreen should be straight because if you have a side on contact being straight it's less likely to bend in, it would be the same for the cross roof bar, apart from those to things I find your video very informative. Thanks mate.
  • I've watched this series 2 times already and I'm watching it again in preparation of designing and building a roll cage for my AW11. Fantastic instruction and great tips.
  • @TDSG34
    this is going to become a classic video - this was so helpful. Haven't seen anything better.
  • @spartancrown
    Some of the best how to for people who wanna learn out there. Excellent. For me, most of the time what I do to avoid putting rocker boxes up front so I don’t have to deal with welding backside and more floor space for driver is get the forward laterals in position and small tacks to hold. Get the windshield bar in position with good solid tacks. Remove small tacks at the hoop where the laterals joined. Lean the hoop back a bit drop the front of the cage down and weld up the bars. Raise it back up to join the hoop and tack in place. Then you can remove the blocks to drop the hoop and weld at the hoop. Just another way to do things.

    The quality and attention to detail in your work is insane, amazing. Keep up the killer work!
