roll cage project

[198esp1]

I have been working on building a nice cage for the car. All of the tubes are 1.750 x.120 dom. The car is mainly an autocross car and hopefully some track days. The car will be classed c-prepared which has a min weight of 3050 w/o driver so hopefully i can get it close. Last year I raced at 3310. There is still have alot to finish up, but its getting there. I have been working on it only when my one year old naps during the morning and late nights. Here are some pics.

yeah.....that's what I'm talking about.....something like that would look good in the Firechicken, but I'd want to keep the interior intact I think.....I just can't bring myself to gut it.....lets load that baby onto the trailer and go to MMC on september 18??? come on....come on......don't be shy.....you can use my Toyo RA1's......

4 miles of pure fun......

Lets see some shots with the seat in, doors shut and t-tops on.....come on....

ive been to a bunch of chassis shops and i must say you do some top quality work....very very nice

did you notch the tubes yourself?

i did all the fab work myself. from the bending and notching to the welding. this is my first 4th gen. the next one will be even better. Thanks for the compliment a lot of thought goes into it withl regard to load path and getting it tight to the body, with the cage only tacked together and not even welded to the plates it was so tight you could not move it. I just mocked up the seat and took some more picks ill see if i can load them up.

Much props on the fabrication work. Some shops cant even do such a good job. Got any pics of how the car sits now?
