Ok I started on the cage today, first I jigged up the rotisserie so it was level front to back and side to side. then I placed the main hoop in, leveled it up and measured where the legs of the hoops would go. I used the door bars as jig, resting them on the door sill and tack welding them to the bars, this way I know in the future, if I decide to use them they'll fit.
I then removed the cage, and drilled 2-1/4 holes in the floor where the legs will go, then I tacked the 1/8 inch floor plates down and re-installed the cage. (the reason for the 2-1/4 holes will be apparent shortly)
I welded up all of the seams. As you can see they took some help via a ratchet strap and some "C" clamps to get everything to fit. Once that was done, I removed the (tack welded) floor plates and dropped the cage through the floor in order to weld all of the top seams in the cage.
Then I pulled the cage back to where it's supposed to be, and replaced the floor plates, this time welding them in for real.
The almost finished product.
