Wolfe Racecraft C5 Roll cage install....
Well we started the install on the roll cage this morning and is going good so far. The main hoop pads just fall right into place. The main hoop was cut down roughly 3/4" to allow removal of the Cage after installed and welded into place. The door bars were notched perfectly slipped over the main hoop and hugged the door. There is about 1/2" between the door and the door bars. The only thing left is to tack weld the rear bars to the rear plate and finish welding the door bars. Pics to follow......BTW the cross bar wasn't even close to fitting so I am notching it correctly so it will fit into place.

Greg,
I would guess 35-45lbs. I am heading back to the shop to see if we can finish it today so it can go to paint tomorrow.

I just snapped a few low quality pics to get the general idea until I get time to take better pics.

How do you feel about the rear bar plates mounting, no metal in the floor?
I installed the bolt in cage this week and the main hoop is to tall. I'm not to happy with the fit and the mounting. Sheet metal and plastic don't seem to be the way to mount a roll cage. Did the weld in kit have better mounting, like to the frame? I had heard the the Wolfe didn't fit very well, but I didn't listen
:mad
Dale C just got the weld in cage and he had to cut and rebend most of it.
