How to Build a Roll Cage| Step by Step

[@rexmikakka]

i can’t believe i’m watching this for free. thank you for gifting us your knowledge and experience

[@rybowerks1150]

This is the only 1hr long video I’ll watch on KZbin.

[@hondaforever338]

Same, I'm a welder by trade and wanting to do my own cage for a fun project and this video was spot-on exactly what I wanted.

[@crazyhorze6023]

If only they didn't use that soundtrack! It is what all good things hear just before dying a horrible death

[@georgiq1]

Maybe it's just me on weed, but no one was able to bore me in 5 min like this video was. 🤦‍♂️🤣

Hands down best fab video on the interwebz as of right now. I'm a welder/fabricator and am always watching videos to learn new things and I couldn't be more satisfied after watching this.

[@FDFraceshop]

Thanks alot!

[@ThePatriotPath]

Man, this was perfect. The flow, details, simplified info, and everything was easy to follow. Much appreciated.

[@stevepeters3032]

I'll watch this more than once. Best rollcage video on the Tube.

[@trevorpummill853]

Badass that this is free. People that share their knowledge instead of gatekeeping are the best!

[@dylankowalik2155]

can u please do a tutorial on how u built ur tube bender

[@WeekendBuilt]

Definitely worth every minute of watch time.

[@ECMFab]

This video rocks! As a veteran bender from doing custom exhaust tubing for 16 years, I’m getting ready to build my first cage. I’ve been trying to find videos on cage design or even figure out what hoop you start off with. Your video was extremely informative and you actually explain everything with the hows and whys you do things the way you do- which is very similar to my teaching style. Thanks so much for putting in the time to make this. Subscribed!

[@johnshaft5613]

This is a fantastic video. A few years ago I built my own cage in a 240Z, and while it turned out OK, I wasted a lot of material with screw-ups and mid-course corrections. If I had seen this video prior to the build, it would have helped immensely.

[@jimmywaters3987]

Thanks for sharing of your hard earned experience and wisdom on general fabrication tips and tube bending do’s and don’t’s as well as your reasons and methodologies on cage construction. I really do appreciate that you explained your reasons and logic on various points in the construction of this cage. That was really helpful. Although this wasn’t a cage for a drag racing door car, the general approach, materials, construction and thinking are all the same, to keep the driver safe and add major rigidity to to the chassis. Thanks a ton, bud !

[@nicholassmith1419]

I just cant believe that someone would be willing to give away so many tips and tricks that must have took years to learn. Thank you very much.

[@FDFraceshop]

We are out of the roll cage business and only focus on suspension now. So passing on what I know before shutting it down seemed like the best thing to do

[@scotth7686]

Probably the best roll cage instructional video on YT. Thank you!

[@dan1906]

Thank you! Finally, ...a real video on roll cage fab and fitment! I loved it. For those of us that can weld and fabricate, but are not clear on the approach and steps for success. Thumbs up and subscribed.

[@Michael-Gould]

I'm just learning to weld and even watching the mig manipulation in the videos I learned tons 😂

[@Outlawv21992]

Broooo the TAPE trick was by far the best thing i saw in this video..... lord jesus this one was so simple and it helped me put X door bars in my car into an existing rollcage... thanks so much. WOnderfully done video and cage work....

[@kevindougherty6130]

This was such an awesome and well done video on the subject! Lots of guys out there can do good cages, but this video was done really well to compliment the skills with the shop!

[@patrickwaters6273]

Loaded with tips and techniques! Worth every minute. I will be watching it again for refresher course. Thanks for taking the time to make the video!

[@soalersystem123]

super dope video man, I don't think people realize how much it takes to see what we're seeing. Great work, crystal-clear and concise. Thank you for all of your knowledge, and insider tips.

[@FDFraceshop]

Appreciate that 🤙

[@soalersystem123]

​@@FDFraceshop man I wish I was in ON, I would work cheap to have you mentor me. I love the attention to detail and accuracy. Bravo. More people need to take on the skill of craftsmanship like you have. Thx

[@jerryclaypool2791]

Best roll-cage construction tutorial ever!

[@walterkrueger7551]

You guys have done a wonderful job of explaining the various procedures it takes to build a legal and safe cage. Thanks so much.

[@hyperbiker613]

This deserves more views - probably one of the best detailed videos. Much love from Ottawa! I can't wait to snag a few of your parts for my G35!

[@43Disciple]

You’re extremely talented and I appreciate the WHY in this video. You go through everything. As someone getting ready to build their first prerunner this is massive for me. Thank you

[@martynrudd6070]

probably the best how to video i have seen, sometimes people use silly loud music in between and it sucks, this was amazing well explained always and simple, well done chaps.

[@danielfuks]

I was watching it to the end and its been like 15 minutes, such a good content, so many informations and great explanation of each step so that there are no questions left, thank you for this video, I'm really trying to start witch fabricating and this is really helpful

[@FDFraceshop]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RootBeerRacer]

I am going to be building a Lucky Dog/Chump/Lemons cage soon. Your video is by far the best thing I've watched on the subject. Thank you for explaining your processes perfectly.

[@growupjohnny9374]

This whole video was amazing, but it was worth so much learning how to get at the welds on the top of the cage. Mind blown. Thank you.

[@dasjuggernaut1]

Good to see I'm not the only one who uses safety squints when tack welding

[@jeje568]

some people do yoga, the watching of this video, cool explanations and music does the same effect on me !!!

[@MLFranklin]

Very cool and useful documentary.

[@mi16pim]

Such a joy to see someone do it the right way.

[@shawng7902]

That vertical set up is so amazing! Makes your whole system work awesome. Be great for garage people that dont have 2 empty bays to do a main.

[@Hairy_and_Scary]

Great video, I learned a few tricks that even cross to my jeep cages. But please......use more PPE. You can keep doing this awesome work if your can't see.

[@royshideler]

The master craftsmen have a word to describe him. He is a Builder.

[@ngenes1]

Great explanation even someone like me who knows nothing about roll cages. Thanks awesome video!

[@martinsteele3259]

Just came across your video... "MasterCraft" Level? wait... these guys are in CANADA?! So many quality KZbinrs from Canada!

[@SammWebster]

Hands down the best roll cage building video out here. Fantastic job guys!

[@FDFraceshop]

Appreciate that thank you🙏

[@thomasperner4992]

Phenomenal illustration of why I will never build a cage myself. LOL Beyond my skill level.

[@nsrvtqc]

I have no need or want to build my own cage but with this video I think anyone could.

[@maijhiselemani458]

This is the shortest 1 hour... lol really enjoyed the lesson. thanks a lot.

[@FDFraceshop]

Glad you liked it!

[@anthonygilman150]

Most in-depth video on the web on roll cage fabrication I enjoyed and learned a lot of how to I feel more confident now on welding my cage in my mustang 😊🐎

[@frediefarmer]

Thank you for this video. Getting ready to build a drag truck and this was the answer to some of my questions.. thanks again

[@arthurrodesiler3109]

Great Great Great job. This takes skill plus a lot of time and experience. I can see why your looking to do something else. Great when you are young. As you get older much harder doing stuff like this for a living. Who ever gave this thumbs down has never tried doing this kind of work.

[@tonycarrafa7265]

where were you 4 years ago when i got bend-tech. ive called tech support 3 times and couldnt figure out the software. watched your video, by the way was amazing and now i got bend-tech down thank you so much also really great work keep at it

[@kenfukumoto]

Hey just letting you know this is a FANTASTIC video. Was not expecting to sit through an hour+ video on a whim, but glad I did. You just cleared up a whole lot of questions I had without making me wanna blow my brains out. THANK YOU!

[@lucusc4002]

As someone who will most likely not build their own cage, this was just very entertaining to watch

[@danielhughes3565]

Awesome video. Watched the whole thing. Some very good information. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

[@stevenburns4lo]

Great video. Probably the longest video I’ve ever watched on KZbin but it had so much good info that it was totally worth it. Thanks for sharing

[@gtpsic]

I sure enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing. Impressive work.

[@Futttbuckinlsx]

This video absolutely pointed out some flaws in my technique.... awesome video guys

[@dope1808]

Best movie documentary DIY film ever! And it came from my favorite angle kit manufacturer! Well done, this will be forever reference video. Good job bud! 👏

[@richardlong6097]

Awesome video man. The detail is great, and the tips and tricks of years and years of experience will help people of all skill levels. Really enjoyed the video, nice job man.

[@fasteddy760]

Such a gift. Learned so much. The tool list was a nice touch to get started. THANK YOU!!

[@scottc4276]

Dude is a machine!! Awesome info and possibly best video on KZbin. Much appreciated!

[@johncranfordpersonal4146]

Ton of fantastic tips, great content, awesome job !

[@bryanmcentush4788]

Well worth the time to watch, thanks for sharing your knowledge on the subject matter..

[@bobmcdougal7501]

Wow, this is an outstanding video that was very well explained. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, a lot of fab guys keep their secrets locked up tighter than a drum. Wish this video was out when I built my 8 point.

[@marvinhindman1790]

Great video! Definitely helped me bone up on my measurements and software for my 79 Z28 love from beautiful Camano Island Washington

[@Toodoff]

TOODOFF up here but sheeeeesh!!!! Man I love how accurate u are lol thank you for the video! I wish you guys could build and sell bolts ons or build them in sections for us to finish it up.

[@jimhoran5445]

Great video! Just not enough commercials!

[@shawng7902]

You had me at "rally car cage" 2nd to none on the planet! Getting ready to do my regal in the near future. Coming from fox body mustangs and unibody Im really freaked out over the cage going through body to the frame. Unibody is so much better for an idiot like me. We are all getting to the point a ton of safety work is a must.

[@peterreimer2540]

Great work! Thanks for showing the process. Definately going to do my own now.

[@tristanelliott7858]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, not many professionals are this open about their knowledge base as you are. Thank you for this video!🤘👍

[@benspeeder]

Getting ready to do a cage on a E90 330i T3 car. Took a ton of notes and fantastically helpful and well done vid. Safe racing!

[@Arykperry]

Thankyou guys for this video !!!! You guys answered every single question I’ve had about building my cage. Your an absolute god send so thanks again !!!!

[@Kevin_fullsenddiesel]

That was the best KZbin video I think I’ve ever watched. Amazing!

[@Djm9393]

full send bro never lift! knowledge is power!

[@michaelmorgado]

Have you ever considered implementing an old feature that I believe Porsche used in the 60’s? They ran a completely sealed and pressurized chassis using regular compressed air and a gauge fitted to it. … any drop of pressure indicated some sort of structural failure and also aided in locating the crack or cracks. Ingenious, efficient and effective, just a thought and definitely something else that could set you guys apart from everyone else.

[@Sgt-su1he]

Love your videos you really show step by step how its done and very helpfull💪

[@johngoode6787]

Very instructional and professionally put together video. No substitute for experience and all the hot tips really appreciated. Just wish I could weld like that. Thanks again

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Very detailed video. Thank you for putting so much time into this. I will happily dedicate the full hour to watch it

[@terrysibley9636]

Outstanding!!. Maybe tge most in depth and simplified video I've seen. Not only roll cage specific but overall fabrication approaches to be used on a variety of fab projects. At 64 its nice for an old dog to learn new tricks. Your attention to detail is top shelf. Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving and merry Christmas.

[@factrefute4427]

👍ONE OF THE BEST VIDEO i AVER SEEN, CONTENT QUALITY AND DETAIL.THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME I ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

[@jamiecarter2541]

Awesome work! Like the way you have your bender going vertical. Started my first cage this past weekend on a sxs.

[@RIPmytires]

Wait but how...nevermind you answered that, but when...no, no, you answered that as well, ok but what...actually you answered that one also 😅 Suuuuuper in depth video I've been stoked waiting to find time to watch it all the way through and it was entirely worth the hype! I'll likely watch it another time or two before starting a cage in my genesis. Well done!

[@FDFraceshop]

Glad you enjoyed!!!!!!

[@tehgangstadawg]

Excellent video, thank you for taking the time to make it and explain the process

[@williammendez5757]

This video is greatly detailed and helpful things to know to be aware of who is building my cage. Awesome content!

[@turb099]

This is so good Very underrated Great teacher

[@rickutley931]

That is an awsome video, and you are very well spoken and easy to understand

[@ehb403]

Planning on putting a cage in my C4 (likely using your suspension components also, gotta save pennies up though). Just a street car, the main purpose is to show off my engine conversion - low emissions, low fuel consumption in daily driving V8. I don't need a "certified" cage, but might as well make it safe.

[@johnnyturbo8460]

When notching a straight bar like the harness bar, how do you measure the length while considering the notch depth? (How do you measure the notch mouth depth on both sides where the horizontal bar connects to the down bar?)

[@freakyykid101]

Damn, I would love to have a built by FDF logo on a cage in my car 😭 they look insane!

[@oddcarsandbaddecisions]

Outstanding! Thanks for taking the time to be so thorough!

[@saoudalattiyah]

Thank you for all the information on roll cage regulations, this video is awesome. Good luck

[@JustMe-999a]

Okay, you've proven to me that I couldn't possibly do this.

[@neooied6580]

You do it?

[@JustMe-999a]

@@neooied6580 I said I couldn't, so I didn't

[@mcnuggetapple]

@@JustMe-999a I’ve been telling myself it’s not possible, I ended up buying an affordable bender and built a racing sim rig and even though it’s not perfect I ended up finishing it . Trust me you can do it lol
