Custom Roll Cage and Rear Seat Delete

I'd thought I'd share my experience with Sadistic Ironworks out of Hesperia California building me a custom roll cage. They built me the Roll Cage, rear seat delete, rear wing support, customized the rear shocks so I can adjust remotely for less than what a plane roll cage without anything.
They will do any design you like without it costing more. After I was quoted I made several changes and they had to build another roll bar and it never affected what I paid when I picked up my car.

The rear seat delete is formed and powder coated aluminum.

The rear seat delete aluminum looks like OEM, looks like a fantastic job by a craftsman!

With a trailer that low and level with the ground, you simply push the car into place. Mind-blowing craftsmanship in this thread!

Guessing trailer is on an air-ride suspension, right? Pretty slick and presumably bloody expensive, no?

Lambo door conversion

But yeah, it's what FlyingLow78 said, or you climb out of the window if you're small enough.

Push the car?? Even after you push it in, you still need to get into the cabin and apply the parking brakes then roll up the windows. So you still need a way to open the door once it's on the trailer.
