Pics of my custom Roll Cage
Some of you guys might remeber me talking about building my roll cage. Well here is some pictures. Its not 100% done but most of the hard work is. Im still need to weld in the diagonal bars from the main hoop to the floor. I also need to x-brace the doors and extend the cage into the engine bay, but as you can see its comming along nicely. Its a custom 1 off piece i built. I dont have any interior, but im thinking i left enough clearence to install all the plastics and the headliner. All the points to the floor and the a-pillar to halo, and halo to main hoop are mig welded, all the others are tig. Anyway here are the pics
