Yeah, I'd say that's pretty cheap. You can buy 2 Racequip harnesses for 120 bucks... They're nice.

I'll have some finished pictures up this weekend finally. Kinda drug my feet at the end of the build there. Also, don't use ebay harness. Uncomfortable and they constantly need adjustment to stay tight. Looking at maybe a set of crow harnesses to replace these.

You're doing some nice fab work. Will have to check out your setup sometime. Would love to build myself a cage in the future. Been working on steering and bumpers and sliders for now

Here are some of the pictures of the mostly finished project. Let me know if there is anything I want to see and I can go snap some pictures of it.

Rear Floor welded in and painted. As you can see its only a two seater now.


Wheel well in the back


Fuel pump electrics


Whats left of the tunnel


This is where the cage ties into the b pillar.

All of the floor is 18 gauge cold roll. I went to a HVAC shop and just bought a few sheets of it. Used cardboard as a template for the shapes I needed and cut as much as I could with a jig saw. Uses a 4.5 disc grinder for the rest. I really isn't that hard, just really really tedious.
