Progress Pic's of my cage install
Sup guys. Im in the process of getting a full 10pt. roll cage (legal for 9sec.) Here are some early shots. They did a real nice job of going through the dash. They are also painting it, installing a window net and line lock, plus a camera mount.

I don't think that making the rear diagonal down braces attach to that rear cross bar is going to be very stiff. That cross bar is going to bend and flex as it is loaded from the diagonal down braces. If you hope to add chassis stiffness with the cage, then that part of the design will disappoint you.
I do like the good job they did making the front down tubes follow the A pillars. That looks very nice.

Is this going to be a street/strip car or strictly a track car? I would have kept it a street car due to the rare cym color.

Why did they opt to run the rear bars so narrow at the rear and to a tube instead to a plate? I am sure you will get it past tech, but there is a little sentance that the roll bar or roll cage must adhere to the example in the picture. I am not criticising, just curious. It is my nature!

Where is the pics of the door bars? Did you use swing outs or weld in. I did not se them in the last pic with the paint on.
How did they get the door bar to pass through the angle of your shoulder and elbow while you are in driving position? I know it is dificult with the way the interior door panel protrudes with all of the door switches. With out the door bars, car is not 9 sec legal or 10 second legal.
Am not trying to provoke anything, but I am curious how others do what they do, that is why I started the other cage thread. Just trying to learn.

Sure seems like your tring to start **** to me, but if you can READ, my thread says PROGRESS pic's, nothing about being finished. When its finished, I'll be sure to post a new thread that says FINISHED cage pics.
Merry Christmas all!

I just want to see other pics of the door bars, that is all. I noticed the interior was back in the car and the main hoop looked to be painted. Man, you posted the pics, not me. You can't expect 100% of the member to be won over on everything thing posted. Cage is nice, just want to see more, and don't be so damned defensive.
