Just finished it up this weekend. Had the roll cage built by Aki @ Blacktrax in Milpitas, CA. Then had it painted light gray @ Campbell Auto Restoration by Mark Schwartz.

Now the rush is to get it back together for the NASA Thunderhill event March 10-11th.

Here are some pics before & after paint.

We made an aluminum piece to fill the sunroof hole. It will be held on by some small L-brackets on the inside.

The old sunroof was 32lbs, the new piece is only 7lbs.

 

Nice cage & looks great painted... so clean!

 

Nice. I like the sub-belt bar, nice touch.

 

What color is that u painted on the inside.

nice. im doin the same thing. i saw the cf one but i cant justify 375.00 for a cf plug.

if you can, get some close ups of ur sunroof when finished, im really interested on how it turns out

 

looks good; but IMO; you should have kept it CBP

 

WOW, awesome - love the work you've done - can't wait to see the final product.

 

Looks Great You have have pm.

 

EDIT: i see you are a HC driver. I'm a NASA tech inspector for the Mid Atlantic region... PM please, you might run into some issues with your cage and I'd like to make you aware of it.

Primer grey?

 

i dont remember the exact color, but its some light grey the PPG offers. It looks really nice in person.

 

after reading the rules the cage is legal which is good... I'd offer up some suggestions to anyone thinking about building a RR cage in the future. so you guys can hit me up on PM. one day i might make a list and gather all the pics that would show how i would have it done.

though .RJ's car we talked about for a while and he had it done pretty damn close.

 

isnt there somthing in the rules that the main hoop cannot have more then 180 degrees of bend in it?

 

just curious why you didnt paint the interior to match the exterior, looks good none the less

That would be a very informative post for those who are looking into building a cage

cage looks very nicely done

 

bars are such a pain in the *** to paint but it looks easy
