Removing weld in roll cage, Any EZ way? Options

[Howard]

Selling the cage. What's the best way to remove it without trashing it or the car?

If you are selling the cage then I would use a sawsall...I cut mine out with a plasma, but it would be very hard to re-assemble cause you lose a decent amount of material when cutting with a torch...especially on something like a cage where you want the fit to be good. Not to mention the flaming sparks that go everywhere (cover those windows if you dont want to replace them) ...

I defin wouldn't cut the rear hoop other than at the base where it welds on, otherwise I don't think it would be legal to use any more. I got mine out in 10 cuts...I cut the 6 tubes away from the rear hoop, cut the rear hoop away from the car, then pull rear hoop out, then cut front down tubes off the car and you should be able to wiggle the rest of the cage out of the car with the rear hoop out (I am assuming there are no seats or steering wheel in the way). You might need to cut the door bars out to gain some extra wiggle room, but unless you are shipping this thing the less you cut the better.

Anyway, I hope some of that made sense...
