Does anybody have any pitcures of roll cages in dakotas? I was thinking about the future of my interior and want to go with all black suede roof, seats and black plastic, gauges ect and all blue lights and a powder coated blue roll cage. How much does it normally cost to get a custome roll cage made.

Ah yes, I understand. Hmm, so that sucks if I want to put it around the sub box. Cause it sort of has to go through it.

after a cage is installed how is it painted/powdercoated? i never understood that.
Mine was just rattle-canned in place. Powdercoating would be preferable if the rollbar could be removed for painting, but mine is in the truck forever.
that will look sweet, but as already asked...how? especially if powder coated.
they usually powder-coat the tubing before they install it.
Knock of where they need to weld and then Rattle-Can back over the welds.
I think they can also powder-coat over it but it takes patience and know how. You would have to heat the tubing with a torch and apply the PowderCoat while it's still hot.
Now if your talking Professional Tube chassis cars. They weld up the chassis and have the whole thing powder coated at once. Whole chassis in the oven.

Hey Joe,
This is how I found out about them. If its not to far from you maybe worth a look to see how they operate.

I drive by that place every day. It's just me, but I would check with these guys first: http://www.mandrelbend.com/content.asp?ContentId=794 I've had them do exhaust work before and I would trust them with anything.

They (SM) just seem ricer to me. I'd shop around. Racersden.net might know of a few good places as well. I'd ask over there. They are a local forum. MBS is the only shop in the area that I know that does true mandrel bends. Chris has all of his turbo kits done there.

Yea I know they are ricer, that does not bother me. I used to be a ricer myself with a CRX, haha. I don't sell them short because the real import guys can put together some really fast cars. I will call MBS and see what they say.
