Can't believe I haven't spotted these before... HOLY COW THAT'S BRILLIANT!

Having two Javestics on my shelf I'm not interested (at the moment!), but I bow to your determination and skills, Sir... Keep it up!

Hello everyone. Finally got the chance to fit this Turbo Optima with one of Ed's roll cage. I got a primed cage and painted it a metallic blue to match the rims. Big thanks to Ed for the hook ups :D

Hi there,
I just wanted to share this pictures of a Turbo Javelin that a friend sent me.
His name is George, very great guy! Unfortunately he is not a member here, but he has very nice large collection of vintages, enjoy!

Hey there Ed. Here is a shot of the other cage I got from you. :D Another Turbo Optima with the gold Javelin cage. This was a replacement for the cage that had a bent nose due to USPS mishandling that Ed was kind enough to replace at no charge.

Hmmmm. I might paint it a different color. ;)

Lol. Thanks Ed. I thought that since you made these that you'd have multiple cages with different colors on hand. You can switch it every week depending on your mood.:D

Wow Adam that gold one looks stunning! You should take a pic of the blue and gold side by side.:drool:

Lol, I have three roll cages of my own; one polished coated in gold, one glitter gold and the turbo Javelin. And a small stock of uncoated ones on the shop, but those are for sale in case someone orders one. The truth is that since I dont have no more rolling chassis for a roll cages to put in it, it didnt make much sense for me to have more roll cages of my own. It takes several man-hours and some dough $$ to make each so for now I preffer just to sell them to cover up for the money invested.
I am concidering maybe changing the glitter gold to a metallic green and make something similar to what you did, but I am seriously toying with the idea of making the aluminum version; "The Javelloy". If I do it I will try to find someone who can anodize it in green, with green shocks, wheels etc..
We also need to get a powder coating system, paint coating the roll cages is becoming a true headache; paint flying everywhere, long curing time, stainless steel parts getting coated, high humidity and ruined finishes, etc... It's just a PITA.:thumbdown:

Jeez what an awesome work, Edgardo!
I discovered this post too late and now your rollcages are long sold out!
Even if Kyosho and Akira Kogawa rerelease the Javelin 2015, these would remain as incredible craftmanship jewels! :drool::drool::drool:

Hi Ryu, and thank you for your kind words.
I am currently super busy with other things, I barely have time to work on my hobbies and/or build more rollcages, but this does not means I will not make more eventually, probabbly make one every now or then in my spare time and put them for sale.

There is one or two more projects I will like to make, a Salute inspired rollcage and a Blue/White Turbo Javelin.

Currently I am working, when I do have the time, in my unfinished Green Monster (Green Javelin) and the Silverblack, the 100% full metal built Javelin.

I'll post a pic of my Javelin collection later.
