Default Dragon Skeleton (Roll Cage Build Pics)

The guys that have been down to the shop they have seen the 350 that is a work in progress that was sent to us by Ken aka Villainous350z here on the forums. His car has an Asian theme surrounding it with a HUGE dragon airbrushed on the body. Here are some teaser shots of the cage going into his car... but we don't want to give away too much.

Holy Hell! LOVE the look of the cage in the pics! You guys are doing fantastic, thank you, thank you, thank you. I cant wait to have it out on the streets again this spring and summer and definitely looking forward to rocking out with you guys at the shows this season.

Ichigo: here are a couple pics of the airbrush work done at CT2 by Tom Strait. Tom Bostic is the guy behind the design and building of the cage.

Cages do add weight but if you want to be serious a racer or show car they are a must. It's one of these necessary evils we have to put up with to make a car safe enough to race it but then again... with the addition of a turbo or supercharger kit another 100lbs or so wont matter all that much.

Cage looks insane, I Was SUPER impressed with Gold DIggers cage, and I like MDracers's roll bar as well. Cant wait to see the finished product, what color are you painting it?

We are planning on color matching it to the metallic grey on the outside of the car. The throwing stars will be white with a pearl overlay and with Japanese characters airbrushed on them. We have some plans to incorporate katana swords into the rollcage and possibly designing and custom building a sword to be racked on the back of the cage. Villain's car went from a simple color change and audio install to an all out show once he got bit by the mod bug.

We are looking forward to getting our hands on your car and building you a wicked cage. So start coming up with some design ideas while we are away to throw in your own personal touch.
