is it just preference when it comes to putting the roll cage through the dash or bending it around the front of the dash, im tlaking about the a-pillar bars of course. thank you.

 

through the dash..........

 

oh hell yeah, thats what im going to do, just making sure that i can because i did a search and found very few cars like that. thank you, your the one who always chimes in on my questions. i appreciate it

 

no prob bro... i just hate the look of the "around the dash" kits.... + the through the dash should be stonger anyway.

 

doesn't it make the cage weaker when you bend it around the dash? I know nothing but it is just a thought.

And mine goes through the dash.

second.
dave do you work or are you a full time h-t poster?

 

thank you for the pic, thats exactly what i was thinking about doing, beings there is already a hole in the dash there, or i was thinking about putting it more foward and just notching the dash on the two corners, that way i can still rmeove the dash if needed.

 

In theory, the fewer the bends the stronger the cage.

On top of that, like Dave said they are ugly, and they are harder to get in and out of when you go around the dash.

 

yeah if my dash ever comes out it is not goin back in, ill go 2/3 chassis at that point.

ive seen that, it can be done that way.

 

thats how i did mine. this way if the dash needs to come out it wont be the end of the world haha

 

NO way! I LOVE it when people do cages that aren't tucked tight into the pillars, then bend all around the front of the dash. Looks sweet!

As you know Travis, we're a little **** so yea... DEFINATELY tight and through the dash.

 

haha, yeah, tahts what i figured, just dont see much pictures of cars like that and wanted to get some ideas. hopefully ill get on this this weekend

just put it through the *** please.

 

I like how everyone has Scott's OLD 42R as their avatar now too! Looks like it's time to make a new one...

 

Through the dash

 

post a pic of the exterior of your car, that thing is toooooooo HOT !!!!!

 

take the time now to go thru the dash - its well worth it. we did a infront of the dash cafe last year it passed tech but once we went 10.0s thy had us add another bar at the bottom which looked like crap not to mention made it even harder to get in and out of. the dash is easy to take out. also makes alot of parts open to get rid of....

 

are any of you trimming up the dash support (all that metal support bars in the dash)? i know you cant do much on the drivers side since it holds the steering.

 

we took out the factory bar that holds the column and added a bar to the cage to hold it up - plus adding it to the cage can only make it stronger ---

can you do this in sfwd? also do you have pictures? im leaning towards connecting it to the roll bar, just wasnt sure that a sfwd car could do that
