It's common in 1:1 crawling buggy. Build the cage to protect the driver who usually sits off to one side a bit. May not be aesthetically correct, but it is functional!

besides that one side angeled, thats one hot looking rig, i love the blue..if everything would be straight it would look nice, but you based it on the actual 1:1, and damn its nice!

As far as a sit-in, ride-in, competition buggy goes the latest designs have the driver sit off to the side like that and the cage follows function. If you look at the front pannel it is cocked to the side this would be because the engine, trans, t-case are on an angle also a form follows function type of thing.
