Ive been toying withthe idea of a rollcage fo about 2 years. Ho wmuch ? welded or bolted? do it yourself? gimme som einfo , help me decide. My car is an lt1 vert though.

[ar0ck]

Looks good Paul! I like it without the stripes, now just get that bumper painted, or throw your stocker back on.

I saw the cage at your last party, did you bolt it in?

[V]

the cage was about 525, bolt in. i am still in the process of installing it. I should be finishing it up next weekend when im back in jersey.

Alex, the rear bumper will be getting painted soon, along with a hatch, hood, front grille, and blower plenum...

then mid july, i should be getting around to that dam exhaust and i'll finally be able to lower the rear of the car back down.

[maroman88]

wats wrong with the hood hatch and grille??

[V]

wats wrong with the hood hatch and grille??

hehe, they are getting swapped out. The grille is going to be Pewter as well. With the SKY around now, the SS is going more "drag-based". The stereo is getting downsized as well to 1 sub and one amp, no more dvd player or x box.

[JerzLT1]

you should put your Base sticker on the lower drivers side part of the windsheild, it looks alot better and you wont get hassled

[V]

nah, here we are told to put it in the middle as high up as possible

[sweetbmxrider]

why do you still have a rear seat? looks cool though

[Featherburner]

What brand/mfg. is the rollbar?

[V]

the reason i still have a rear seat is the same as why i still have full A/C.

the rollbar is from Wolfe

I think he means why do you still have the rear seat in there when you have the bar now? It's not safe for anyone to sit there.....

[sweetbmxrider]

yeah talk about head bangin....i wouldn't sit there

[GP99GT]

dude its just.....not pauls car anymore

[V]

seats will stay for the look, /story lol

matt, yea, its weird looking at it even for me.

[sweetbmxrider]

yeah thats what i figured. looks good but weight is weight.

[V]

yeah thats what i figured. looks good but weight is weight.


that weight is miniscule(sp?) other stuff has already been taken into account plus with pending hp levels... 20lbs aint nothing for a car thats not raced competitively. The car is dropping almost 500lbs this month anyway. my issue is traction and will be for some time.

Bah, 12 bolts are cheap, right? :lol:

of course, lol. but yea im going 9" due to the ability to change the carrier quicker and easier. 1 with 373s and one with 250s. once the rear is done it'll get slicks.

[sweetbmxrider]

sounds beasty!! i gotta see this thing some time

[V]

250s?

lowest ford 9" gearing i found... for Land speed.

[Rich2279]

[Blackbirdws6]

did i read that correctly? are you gonna drive out to the salt flats?

[V]

my goal is to get there eventually. but it will be trailered, lol. I am determined to make a 200+ mph run within the next 2-3 years.
Even if i get to some time trials down at a place like Maxton, or the texas mile, but eventually...itll 200mph somewhere. with my current motor supercharged, the t56 and 250s... i dont see a reason why i shouldnt be able to reach my goal, and yes i know theres a ton of other stuff that has to be done but thats what the next 2 years are for.
