It seems to pay extremely well.

how much is extremely well? i'd have no idea what to charge for cage work.

Well, I look at the cars at the shop. A nice fitting custom cage goes in the $2500 range. Now I know you can buy pre cut cages but these guys that I would cater to prefer custom stuff they have input into and can be a part of the design process.

Well since you're such a fab oriented guy, why not grab those bender plans from naxja and build one?

The story I've seen on the forums is that the JD2 company switched locations, and they're still getting settled in, so everything has been on backorder for awhile.
