I should not be credited, but the solution is kinda genius

My cage builder had some more tubes fitted


There are door bars, tunnel bars and upper coilover mounts to do before fully welding the entire thing. Body will be lifted a bit to do the tops.

Man you definitely found the right guy. Those fit ups are perfect!

Yes! It's annoying that the car is a long way from me.. Want to see it live

Verry nice work!

A bit more done on the cage

Wow, that cage is looking good! I think you passed the streetcar line with it

Yeah, I agree. Why can't cage builders position those bars against the pillars? Then you could ty/weld the cage the body and make the whole car structually even more rigid.

Plates, insurance and I'll drive to the first outing

Street car no matter what cage is in it

Which bars are you referring to Walter?

A and B pillars mostly. I think for that 'streetcar feel' the inboard positioning of the bars that run along the A-pillar in the cabin would benefit most if the they would be closer to the outer shell of the car.
Its very common as it is now though, but I always wondered what the reason behind this was?

Be able to lift the body off.. Because of the ladder bar tubes between the main hoop, I can't have the main hoop or the A pillar bars on the sills. It need to clear the body. So it can be lifted some cm to have the cage fully welded.

Tying the cage to the body with dimpled plates etc is not legal (I believe?) in drag racing?

That could very well be the reason, thanks!

Latest bars to join the car is the FIA mentioned "D-bars" from the main hoop to the floor.

We wanted to have them welded to the upper ladder bar tube, but weren't allowed. 1 bar could not do 2 things? Never heard of that rule..
