Default Pics of my new cage...

I knocked it out on Saturday and it took ~6 hours. It came out nice and it really stiffened up the car (I have no subframes). So, now I am legal up to a 9.99.. Here are a few pics.

Looks good.

Is there a design that makes it possible to have a functional rollbar and still be able to have back seat passengers?

I thought I read somehwere that yea there is one. But, its not NHRA legal.

So, for me that is the main reason I got it was to go faster then a 11.49. I was getting kicked out at the track and had to install one. So, now I am good to go!

lol you can tell i've been looking at that cage to figure it out alil, yeah like on the frame rails you know where the spare tire touched up against. i know the one that attached right about the fuel cell isnt all that great of an idea as it's not the best place in case you roll over, with it on the rails at least it's holding the body up at a much stronger point you know.

I dont have my spare tire, so I do not know if it would have rubbed. It's not even close to my N20/nano set up I have back there instead.

But, I did have to move the little shock sensor though.

Great looking work. I can't believe you got 10's out of a 10 bolt...? Is that still what you have?
