BUILD THREAD G Body back half

[80special]

Got my 12pt cage from Jegs today. It's a Jegs brand pre bent kit. I have no info from anyone on how the Jegs kits have been fitting, so this will be interesting. Hope it's tight to the roof. Tech support said I should have plenty of extra pipe on the ends. Waiting on the solid body mounts to get started.

That's the one I got. Seems solid. I'll know more later

Hm the one I'm looking at has the rear down tubes go further down

 

[80special]

The down tubes are long so they should go fairly far back. I'll also be x bracing the back half from the roll bar to get 4 braceing points for the rear. That's what I've always been taught to do. So if these tubes are short I'll use them for the x brace and get the new tubes long, but the rear window will limit the angle and how far back I can go with the bars so I'll know more during mock up. First g body roll cage install.

I'll def be following your install. What was the shipping on that?

I live between Jegs in Delaware Ohio and Jegs in Columbus Ohio so I didn't pay shipping. Website said $99 freight I think.

Oh that's not bad at all. I had debated scratchbuilding a cage but as cheap as those are I may go with prefab

 

[80special]

I said the same thing. Save my arms a little work

Il Still mod it how I want. Like I'm wanting to build an integral rad support to hold a b body or truck radiator​
