Thanks to Harley, Watersports and Shiggs: I gathered all the advice I could from these guys and started my cage. Here's some pics. Thanks you guys for the info and incouraging words. Don

Looking good don, thinking of sending my engine to a guy in spring that can completely rebuild and add a new cam and more, said when he is done should be 340-360hp
 
HEY DON : looks like ya got it started, thats the biggest thing , knowing how you are going to built it, befor you start the build... looks good Don , keep up the good work.... take care , GOD BLESS... 8)
 
JD: I had those bent at an airboat shop in Baytown,Tx. There's some guys on here that bend them on a piece of plywood. Maybe they'll chime in. Don
 
JD some of us bend emt over a piece of wood cut into the same shape as the hoop, pretty simple to do if you ain't got a shop down the street. Hell the shops use the same thing only their jig is metal and ours is wood LOL! Never bent stainless over one, but Im sure if it's thin enough it would work. Another idea is to bend em over an existing cage.

Looking good Don, still waiting to see the post when you get it out there with that new box/prop! LOL!
 
Couple more pics from today. Out of stainless-tomorrow --it's billfold time again :( .

Yobee: I have a feeling that day is getting closer. Either cruise or I've got one expensive piece of outdoor furniture in the backyard :lol: Don
 
Watersports: It's kinda up in the air right now. But, I imagine I am going with 16ga. 2"x4" ss wire. It'll be between $300-400 :( . but, I have learned some tricks on how to lay the wire and keep the squares all strait. Takes some extra wire though. I was going to have sides that hinged and lifted, but there's so much room inside this cage I don't think I'll need them. Don
 
Don,

Somehow I missed this post until now--Too much working for me lately. That sure is looking good and your getting along on it pretty quick.

Won't be long now!!
