Weight vs. wallet, and/ or skill level. .........1 5/8....083 CM 1.5 # per foot .....ERW .1 5/8 .134 wall 2.13 # per foot. ............30 % weight savings regardless of number of points of attachment ,all things being equal ........And oh by the way about double the price just for materials,not counting additional time / skill for fitting and welding. ......I just compleated a '56 Chevy Gaser with a S&W ERW cage fit perfectly and the pre notching was very close. ......I TIG all my cages and the .134 tube welds ok , but takes quite a bit more heat. ......Tom
