i planned on a wolfe 6point. but im going to have takash racecraft in Orlando do a cage that will hug the interior panels. (personal friend of my fathers)

also something ive been wondering. when welding the cage the bars that hug the roof of the car, how do you weld the top of the joint since there so close to the roof?

it was a wolfe 5 point for my daily driver. when your in the back seat the side of your head pretty much rests on the inside of the back roll bar, any hard dips or bumps are bruisers

They have never said anything about it. I know it's not legal, but no track I've ever been to will be that strict unless it's an event.

im trying to figure out how yall painted your cages.

paint all the tubes first (except where welds will be) then weld in car and touch up the unpainted joints

you can just get a bolt in style like this that is already powder coated.





Just ditch the back seat. I orginally installed mine with the stock seats in there. Later on i was just like, uhhhh why did i do that
