I'm just glad I have a 1 5/8" dash bar...no opening for interpretation

I'll make some calls on monday, Wolfe supplied all the stuff for the cage minus the latest material. From dash bar is not 1 5/8" and only has 2 gussetts

The front bar is in exactly the same place as my tranny crossmember on my old setup.

it seems like door cars are getting closer and closer to tube cars with all the bars needed to pass tech. Phil your doing a hell of a job I wish I could do my own cage, because with all the work involved you can see it would cost an arm and a leg.

Thanks guys, we're getting there. I picked up 2 more sticks of 1 5/8" tubing to finish the dash bar and the passenger rocker bar. Still need to figure out how I am going to do the floor.

Also, if anyone has a good recommendation on paint, I'm looking for a dark metallic gray with a nice shine to it. I paint I used before looked good going on but didnt have much of a shine when it dried.

Have you looked into Dupli-Color? They keep coming out with new metalic and pearl shades, looks like nice paint. Hell of a job on the car to !!

I used the texture metallic graphite last time, it was nice going on but just dried to a dull finish.
