well I really have no idea... that's why I'm asking

George

I was wondering about that. There is a reference above to it being limited to five cars per session. That seems like a lot to me.

Cruzin Kaz

I take it that is you "ROD"? hardcore??? Curious, now that you are here and all . G boby, Monte SS, need a questamate on a 4 and 6 point cage for my SS. James "88redxsty" Mentioned you have a Gbody there with a cage I can see?? I would love to come and see your work soon if I could?? I am in Welland. What would be the best route from say.... Hwy 20 and Regional Rd 24 ?? I have been quoted many prices and they vary to much from place to place, kinda scares me sometimes.. But F Bird Speaks highly of you so... Let em have a idea as to cost for the cage and I would like to arrange a time to come out if I could. Let me know or email me even.

Thanks Much!

I assume a set can be fabricated for convertibles.

Idlehands

its about time we get something going on this, this will be my third Group join that hopefully won't fall thru....anyways count me in...............

SBlackfoot

Convertables shouldn't need them. They should have had some sort of SFC installed when the roof conversion was done.

I might be in, depending on the final price and how it turns out (also on if my car is out of storage by then, had the insurance put back on, passed it's e-test, and gotten it's sticker renewed). If there's any trace of snow on the ground then my car won't be going anywhere... lol

Wow...geez hasnt this been a long post etc....well....if you guys are doing it in 2 different days etc you can probably count me in for the 2nd day. I want to see what these puppies look like and how they go in etc before I go dropping 350 on my car.

Cruzin Kaz

AH crap he is like 10 minutes away from me Awesome! Should I call first or just go? I think I will pay him a visit tomarrow afternoon. Yes I will do that. Thanks!!!

F-BIRD'88

I'd call first.. He's out running around town sometimes.

Hungry guard dogs too!!! Hee hehhe eheh

Cruzin Kaz

I know exactly where it is now. Rod must have just got there recently no??? It was a shop before to Kinda by a funny "Y" in the road right in front of his shop right?? By the Bank?

Slade1

I'm gonna check out Alex's contact that welded in his sfc's. $300 for a set made to my specifications and design is not bad. At the least then to have him copy Alex's sfc's which are MAC sfc's.

Idlehands

if you can get it off him, i tried in the last post about this and nothing....honestly i have no idea what the big secret is, just post the number.

Cruzin Kaz

Hey Kevin!. I am probably going this afternoon, and em hopin gto be able to take some pictures that will relate to us. I have also started a GP message on www.sogm.ca. I will post my findings later today.

88redxtsy

Thanks Rod for taking the time to join our group. This was getting out of hand. As Daz said, working from memory was killing me!

I'm glad questions are now answered and interest has picked up.

Sorry guys about the 5 a day. I got my info mixed up. What I want to do is confirm 5 guys first and go from there to setting up a date. I'll let everyone know when I'm going so you can come watch.

Price again is $350 OR less if we confirm a group purchase.

Roughly a 1 hour drive from Mississauga.

There is extra reinforcemet but the sub frames are not tied together. Other convertible members on this site have had SFC's installed and it really helped with the flexing that these convertibles expieriance.Gm(or I should say ASC) as usual did the minimum chassis strengthening on these cars. SFC's should help eliminate alot of my squeeks and rattles, especially when the top is up.

Cruzin Kaz

I just got off the phone with Rod,nice guy! And I am going to have a look see what he has going. Sounds to me like he has a great setup and buisness to offer. I will let ya all know soon.

Keiran

Cruzin Kaz

Just got back from Rod' shop. Great guy! Who really knows what he is talking about. I will be usuing his work for sure! With no questions. I spent the entire afternoon there with Rod. about 3.5 hrs to be exact. He was very responsive and informative. Guys this is the guy for all of us! Now we have one thing we need to understand though. We already knwo that he cannot do 5 cars in a day. He may be able to do 3..maybe! But he will need us out of his way so he can do the work! So maybe we can go out and roam the Falls and leave him to do what he does best. He has a very sweet Nova that runs 9's! on a sbc. WOW! I say...WOW! So..we need to find out who is really serious here! I know I am. So if Daz being that he started this thread so it's his venue. wants to start a new thread with a poll or something, strictly for people who are really interested then we can get the ball rolling here. So lets start figureing this all out. Rod's shop is not even a 10 minute drvie from my house so anytime is good for me, but he will need my car for at least a day or two to do my cage so. Lets here the thoughts???

Here is his beast! Very sweet car!!!

Cruzin Kaz

Here are a few shots of his work too. Very nice workmanship!

Cruzin Kaz

Sorry owner wanted his car removed... Sorry man .

88redxtsy

I told you Kaz!! This guy is a pro. I'm still in. Hey Kaz...maybe we can chill at the falls at that sports bar and have a few beers. Anyone else??

Keep posting.

RegaPlanet

count me in!

85_ZED28

I'm in, but I'm only 18 (i want beer too lol)

I can go pretty much any time, preferrable late April though :lala:

Cruzin Kaz

LOL! You guys never said you were there!

That sounds cool James! Hey Colin we don't have to go to a bar, bar. But like said, we can't come down in one huge group and expect Rod to be able to do them all in one day. He also has other customers too, I'm sure. I'm sure Rod can pencel everyone in, just have to work it out. We will need to spread things out, maybe two cars at a time even at most. Lets see how many are truely serious. And we can work something out with Rod. Basically we can't go in a group of 10 people or even 5 and except each and everyones car gets done. It just not possible. So spreading out everyone will be easier on everyone. Yes/No??

SBlackfoot

<shrug> News to me... But hey, I don't own one.

I still might be in, unless easy's guy turns out to be just as good and a lot closer.

Idlehands

thanks for your work Keiran i'm in for sure, lets set-up a date, either way group or not i'm going with him.

88redxtsy

Hey, I wanted to see what his businees looked like, get to meet the man and show us his work. We watched as they installed and fabricated an 8 point roll cage in a second gen camaro.

Yes, obviously I will be going. First!

Anyone else?

RegaPlanet

I'll go second or whenever. I can make it down anyday pretty much but I won't be able to make it there until about noon at the earliest unless the day happens to fall on one of my two or three days off work a month.

Cruzin Kaz

Well we will have to call Rod and see how his schedule is before we start saying who and when. I am going out for awhile, be back around supper.

Keiran

RegaPlanet

Only thing I care about is that I'd like to see some installed SFC's before I commit 100%. But as I stand now I'm 99.9% sure I'm in.

Cruzin Kaz

Justin Man! Trust me, this guy knows his stuff! You know I wouldn't steer you wrong..don't you??? Well James is for sure in the first group, so it's up to him who is the 2nd person for the first run of cars. We can fart off from there and do what ever. I will be there cause I am so close, we can do whatever, just need to leave Rod to does what he does best! Up to you Justin, but Rod is the right man for the job!:hail:

RegaPlanet

Hey I've been here long enough to read your posts and trust your opinion 101% And hey I'm coming up with cash in hand so unless Rod welds bird**** holes right through the flooring and burns down whoevers car is ahead of mine then Im in. YOu can count me in 100% I just have to see for my own eyes, just as you did, for my own stubborn well being

Cruzin Kaz

LOL! I hear ya! But Rod is good! I've seen it and you will too. James can go first! I know he's good to go!

Just so everyone knows... it's well worth the drive to Hardcore!

D's89IROCZ

K ...guys


Are you guys bent on a certain date ........ " IF " I was in ..... I would be looking more towards mid- late MAY ......if this not good for you ....


Sorry to bother ya

Cruzin Kaz

We will have to spread it out, so if May is good for you, and you are seriuos! Then I am sure it can be worked out no problem. But these are "for sures" we need, not "Yeah I guess so" We can't tell Rod we are bringing a total of 20 people take a dsicount and only end up bringing him 10. See what I mean???

RegaPlanet

Well Im sure we could all make some sort of small deposit to cover any actual discounted prices in case people change their minds.

85_ZED28

I'm down for a deposit. Good idea.

D's89IROCZ

that is why I posted in this thread cause thats what you wanted .......if i HAD QUESTIONS HERE . If serious ...I will post in the other thread

easySPEEDcamaro

ahahaha a little off topic but that smiley of yours... this one: ... well after looking at it i bobbed my head up and down for 5 minutes straight, like a cat lookin at a printer...

dam i hate early mornings hahaha

Idlehands

i'd be whilling to be in the first group of guys.......so let me know....

Cruzin Kaz

Here is the low down everyone. First of all, the price of $350 per set was a price given to James for his car alone! We are unsure of the actrual discount yet. If we get 10 people and fix it up that 2 cars go per day for 5 days straight, that is 10 cars. I have been reasured by Rod that the savings will be considerable. These are welded in completely and not tach welded. They are manderal bent! Which is a big +. And these are not manufactured, they are custom to each inviduals cars need. There are many factors that affect the install, more due to different exhaust setups then anything. This is a for sure deal here with Rod, and we will be getting our cars fitted for what we need. Rod's shop is also not just Roll Cages and SFC's. He is capable of doing everything! All types of engine work, head work. Parts and sevice! He also shortens rear ends, does tubbs. etc. He is a PROFESSIONAL! He's has been in this field of work longer then some of you have been alive! So we really need to figure things out. We have 4 confirmed installs now and we need 4 - 6 more cars to finalize the deal. So if you really want to get these SFC this time let James Daz or myself know, or answer in the Sticky above..only if you are for sure though please!

Thanks everyone!

Keiran

darbleinad

does that $350 include tax?

Daz

iTrader: (1)

yes if its cash..And its guaranteed to be cheaper if theres enough people according to him..Ideal would be before summer as he races on the weekends then..


Daz

darbleinad

great, cash deals no tax is how i like operate. thanks for the info Daz. much appreciated.

IROC_Canuck

when are you planning on doing this, with more ppl will the price come down, or lets say in 3 months can i still get them for 350?

Cruzin Kaz

You can get them for $350 anytime. The savings will only work for the GP!

IROC_Canuck

if you did it in july i could gaurentee myself, but not anytime before then, i dont work unill july

Cruzin Kaz

Sorry, but this is more a some time in April deal. Things may change, but I doubt it. We will see how things go.
