I definitely will

[Grammer]

Here's something I did today. I got the helmet and visor off a dude on Kijiji for $40 for the pair. CRAZY good deal. I had the cage laying around, and seeing as I never played growing up, I never really wore a cage - and as such I'm not at all used to the bars. So I snipped them! I attached the visor to the newly empty space using Oakley spacers, and voilà, a frankencage/helmet combo for $40!!

That's crazy never seen something like that before

Did something similar once, but went back to cage when the Re-Akt came out:



But this would be more suitable for altered gear thread

Sickkkk. Can you post a side view? And one of how it connects with the visor?

I have been reading this site along with MSH for a few years and finally decided to join in on the fun. 

 

Grammer's post inspired me to try this one....had a slightly scratched up oakley visor and my old cage lying around. Probably should think of using an extended cut or aviator to fill in the gap but it should work for now. 

 

 

 

Not sure if the image is going to post up. Hopefully I figure this out soon since I have some projekt pro stock shoulders coming in that I am going to dissect into a pair of frankenpads

Image shows without a problem, welcome to s2k.

 

You might want to think about taking the edges off (or even better, get rid of the stubs from the vertical bars so they are plain with the horizontal ones) in order not to injure any fellow players.

[beerleaguezero]

I was planning on removing all of the stubs. I need to grab my grinder from storage since the hacksaw was a long and painful experience with this cage. This was just a mock up to see how it would all come together. I ordered a bigger visor to put on it as well.

Cooper Frankenpads.  Not super clean work but some of my first work with a speedy awl;

Shoulder caps from some eagle ppfx905s - snipped the bicep portion off and finished the caps with some nylon webbing

bicep guards from some CCM CS shoulder pads.  

Nash sports pad on back for extra protection

Reinforced the sternum with some extra padding from a padded shirt.
