[IL]ooking for someone to weld my pre fabbed cage in

admin

I recently picked up a 6 point pre fabbed cage for my 240sx. It's pre bent and pre notched. I have a Clarke 130en at home and I found out that's not sufficient to weld the .120 dom tubing I have so I'm looking to see if anyone is looking for a side job and can help me get this done. It's a convertible so it'll be pretty easy lol.
Reply:If you provided your general location, you might have better luck with responses from nearby welders.  Are you looking to have your installation meet a specific racing organization's requirements?  If so, which one?

Reply:Your cage looks fairly simple. Have you thought about getting some scrap chromoly and practicing? It would be a fun project and learning experience. Also consider the cost of a "professional" weldor is at least 40$ an hour. You could get it all fitted and tacked (beveled no gaps) and weld in segments one fourth of the diameter of the pipe at a time. This should help you reposition for gun angle & stick out as you go. Then when it's all tight and painted you can tell your buddies yeah I did that I'll do yours for 50$ an hour.
