It took me around 40 to 50 hours to finish and I have not added the frame or seat integration yet but the main cage is done and ready for the MEB Round Up in a few weeks.
This is an Extreme Custom Fab. Tall cage.

Looks great, I bought a bender and learned pretty fast that the notching/welding is the slow part. My last one was 4 hours to cut and bend everything, but 12 hours to notch/tack and weld everything and that was a simple 6 point. But yours has a lot more additional bracing which I like but would add a few more hours.

Looks great John! can't wait to wheel in a few weeks. Your son looks like he is ready to drive too, between him and your daughter you may be relegated to passenger permanently.
