(I know this is old hat for Blue2kss but for everyone else)

Blue2kSS: Do you have a Particular material in mind. As for most typical CrMo Cages they are TIG welded, Often using mild Steel filler. however other fillers can be used based on purpose. Mild Steel cages can be done cheaper since they can be effectively mig welded, and the material is less expensive, however Chromo is more sensitive to temp then Mild steel. Most importantly is not to rush and take your time. and whatever you do don't force cool the welds and they won't be compromised. Pre heating can help, but is not necessary if done carefully.

Lowredcrzr: Yes, PEP (with whom we share a building and info) does full chassis builds, while my end of the building is more mechanical and repair oriented, that end is a full fabrication facility, where at any time you can find 3-4 chassis on jigs he is building for Circle track racers. they also fabricate Full Replica Shelby cobras from scratch. if you want to come by between the two shops we should be able to handle your needs.

give me a call 813-333-1100 we can get some more detailed info. or set you up with an appointment.
