LOL, that's why I do most of my own work, I cant really afford to pay someone to do it for me. While it may not be as pretty when done as some as far as the fab work. all I got to do is pass tech and the car needs to be safe and leave straight. And I got to get it done. Biggest thing I am lacking is a tig but that's coming soon. I just mig welded the cage in maybe one day I will cut it back out and tig a new one in BUT that's down the road. Even with that this is a very $$$ hobby and when you start ET chasing it gets really bad.

As far as putting it into my house I would but it is like you only live once here. I will probably die right after the house is paid off anyway due to all the poison I breath and stress from the Fing automotive field anyway and I only owe 5 more years now . The kids are just gone to have to make do for themselves.. I should have been putting it all into a retirement fund that way I could be sitting on my *** taking it easy in the next 30 years or so but then its back to I will dead form stress and the poison I deal with every day in the automotive field so Heck I might as well Go Fast and have some fun before I meet my maker.. Whats the old saying you cant live in the car. well you cant race the house either..LOL
