there are a lot of different setups for the rear bars, do a search, there are quite a few threads on pics of cages

Big Bird WS6 Dec 21, 2008 09:50 PM

i like the flats. but i dont want to cut plastic

F3RR3T Dec 21, 2008 10:07 PM

is that wolferacing's cage?

and thanks for the pics that's exactly what i was looking for. it looks like a real head knocker for passengers.

guess i could put all the ricers back there an knock some sense into them

Big Bird WS6 Dec 22, 2008 05:33 AM

is there really a point for a 4 point system?

your putting any kind of cage or roll bar in your car and your worried about passenger space?????? the back seat are insurance decoration anyways

Go with a 6pt unless you plan to go faster than 10.0 :)

(the pics chrysler kid posted looks like a 6pt)

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?

not worried about it. would just like to salvage them as much room as i can

chrysler kid Dec 22, 2008 07:41 PM

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.

ive never actually got to drag at the track before only on a private airstrip in my mom's old neighborhood. it was pretty nice till i hit a landing light and killed a rim.

im hoping to go drag in orlando in march

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.
