    Comparable? HA! Seen quite a few hack jobs, quite a few marginal jobs, and a lot of really nice jobs, but none really over the top. Ikatya's is up there, still a few minute details here and there not quite up to Joe's, but that badazz 4link setup in his truck makes up for it lol. I'm confident in saying the only other one out there up to par with this one is Vinnie's red L....which Joe also did lol.

    Cost isn't a factor at all. Fit, finish, quality, function, appearance, safety, those are all factors, cost is a byproduct. When you haggle down the price of a cage you get work that shows it. It was more expensive than many would want to pay, it was fair pricing for the insane quality of work that went into it. Simple enough

    Thanks man. How's your truck been coming along? Last I heard you were ditching the 3.4 Whipple for a turbo setup. Any progress or results yet?

    keep an eye on delvallo.net, we're always getting some event together. Next BIG one is our fall rental on October 28th, but we'll have several other smaller GTG's between now and then.

    Yea, after re-reading my reply..... I knew you would like that "comparable" comment! Hehe, I guess it's bc the last few cage threads I been reading have been a success in my book so far so ya know.....but not! Def. no where's along them lines now except the few mentioned with yours! I wonder what his cage job would look on our full 4drs is the question!! I like how you did the rear window with the bars but may I ask why you didnt come out the window higher up positioned like most?! I love the way that looks although your truck looks more of a sleeper with them where they at now if I was coming from behind in traffic. I never seen it in person although which I'm sure it is totally superb!

    How does it drive n feel?!

    Looks damn good Josh. That cage is definitely a work of art. You'll have to get your stuff together and come on down to FL this winter. Year round racing, and I'm 25 minutes from the DeSoto Speedway in Bradenton (google Snowbird Nationals).

    regarding the bolded part, the reason bars come out higher on the window is those trucks are lightnings. They have no choice and thats where they end up. I didn't want my bars going straight back off the main hoop, and not bending down till after the rear window, and then have a 16" cut protruding into my tonneau cover. I actually could have went with a steeper angle and kept everything in the cab, but then I would have lost function of the rear setas. Not that I use them, but bars going THROUGH the rear seat just wouldn't look right to me. At least going above them the seats don't look ruined. And with the bars going through the bottom of the rear window, it's just enough peeking out to show I mean business, but not very obtrusive where it's mistaken for a KC Daylighter Redneck Rack lol. And the notches in the tonneau only had to be about 3-4" rather than 16-18".

    It's been driven a decent amount after I got it back. Summer bash in vineland, several chik-fil-a car shows locally, took it to work a few times, out for dinner a handful of times, and on a decently long haul to a GTG up north, as well as frivolous romping here and there. Not to mention several track events.

    The cage feels excellent. THe truck feels SOOOO much more sturdy and in control. Especially while hooning! Before while doing burnouts if you get sideways and get to the point where you let off and the truck hooks and would launch the opposite direction, it would seem to have a springboard type of effect from the frame flexing and twisting then rebounding back. Now it's rock solid and would go exactly where I pointed it. Didn't get much luck this fall season racing, but it feels very solid out of the hole as well.

    6 points typically run around 3k, 10 points typically around 6k.

    As for number of hours, not sure, but a crapload. Joe's attention to detail is second to none. Two of my other buddies actually took their trucks there after seeing mine to get 6 points in theirs. One actually already had a 6 point from Rhodes, and after seeing mine, he came over with a sawzall and cutoff wheel, and we lopped his out of his truck, and his is almost done getting the new one from Joe, should be done in about another week.

    lol yeah that day was certainly a crossroads and I took the right (but more expensive) path! lol
