Looks nice, I was wondering how low of times are allowed using a roll bar like the one you just put in? Thanks.

 

i just went and checked it.ndra says 10.00-11.99. i think nhra says 10.00-10.99 has to have a cage

 

Looks good. Any idea how much weight it added?

 

i was thinking about making the same style.. my buddy said he could make a 4 point real easy and i can just add door bars too it.. cheaper and easier to make than a full 6 point with door bars

 

Would be a PITA for an everyday car but

 

I can't wait to get my rollcage welded in, my tuner owes me a fvor and is doing it but won't do the two back points since I want them bent and going through the deck into the trunk like Jason Hunt's car. So I will pay someone to do the 2 back points. Is yours chromoly? This steel cage is HEAVY!

 

Steel cage would have to be 30-40 lbs heavier, wouldn't it?

 

damn. I don't think I would've put the door bars quite so high..it's going to make it a PITA to get in and out.

 

it is mild steel and the door bars have to go between your shoulder and elbow according to the rules.that is why they are where they are.i will be adding swing-out bars very soon.

I know what the rules are.. you must be a tall guy, because that is way high for the average person..

Whatever. it's your cage.
