Cage
As luck would have it it did fit pretty good, bends were right, minimal cutting, I did learn a lot about attaching it to the car. It took me less that 2 hours a good welder might take much longer, depending on his/her level of anal retentiveness. I would say 4 hours welding time, twice that to gut the car. Some tricky spots to weld especially the top side of the cage for the down bars.
One thing I did was prep the cage and paint it, before welding it, sanding and grinding at the joints as I went. It really looks good, and touch up was a snap. I had a buddy, who painted his in the car, afterwards and he spent, tons of time. Now on the other hand, if its a race car this wouldn't be any problem.
These Guys at S&W treated me right, and I have ordered two cages from them.
If you want I'll send you a couple of pictures of the car and you can see the cage.
