I picked up my 914 today, it's been at Tony's shop, TC Design for a few months now, a combination of me not really needing the car due to not having a motor and him knowing that and being busy...worked out great for me since it cleared up valuable space in my garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Looks really good! Tony's designs keep evolving I see. It looks very easy to live with - everything is out of the way. Nice.

what do people do about painting the cage once installed? do you just leave it rusty?

just mask as much off as you can, and paint. Maybe use some cardboard to cover some areas so you don't get overspray

wouldn't it be easier to prepare/paint it before installing (minus the welds of course) and then touch up those spots later? I don't see how you can hit a lot of areas, especially up against the firewall.

Por-15 makes a colored brush on product that flows smooth and dries rock solid Never used it, just heard about it.

I spray painted my last one with the windows out of the car. I covered fairly well. hardest part was on the knee bar by the lower dash pad (which was still there and no longer a removeable part).

That's a good looking cage.
I hope you never have to find out how well it works.

we rough up and prep the bars.... degrease, scotchbrite, then primer... then prep the ends for welding... open the root of the joint etc..

after welding, clean the welded area.... and prime paint the whole shebang

This is something I do for some customers and it adds at least $400 to the finished cost. The end result is much better than painting afterwards, but it's not cheap.

It shouldn't be too hard to paint at all, it is not that close to the firewall......

I'll just use a rattle can or if I get really ambitious, I could break out my airbrush or detail paint gun

As a footnote, if you want Tony to do a cage for you then you need to deliver the car pretty much like Mueller's with the interior gutted. He's too busy to do interior R&R, especially on 30 year old cars with 30 year old fasteners, wiring, PO screwups, etc.
