i've seen 8 point cages in hardtop/ttop cars before, but i've never seen one in a vert. is it possible to have an 8 pointer in a vert and still be able to put the top down?

 

Yes.. Im putting a 8 point in mine.

Heres a good site with pic's

I thought that was a 6 pt Chris


I thought those lil small bars don't count as pts

 

Nevermind

 

Chris, that's going to render the backseat USELESS isn't it?
Not that it was useful for carting around passengers in the first place.

What are your plans for the backseat area?

 

Havent desided on back seat area yet. Well i actually have but I dono if I'll follow through with it or not.

Here are Pic's of Tommy )MrIrocZ box for 2 10's)

Something along these lines but here is a Photoshop of How I would do it. Plexi top and front though...

with Amps flush mounted in the top then a Cover fo those times none of it wants to be seen.

I need the cage 1st befor back seats with 418cubes and twin turbos.

 

hey can you post a pic of your vert with the door open i want to see if the side bar makes it harder to get in and out. what negitive things do you have to say about having the cage in your vert.

 

doesnt kenny brown make a cage for the convertible that still allows use of the back seat?

 

That's my silver bar above and I've been thinking of HOW exactly it could be made still safe but not NHRA legal exactly. The rear bars could both be joined a LOT closer together and then routed towards the rear deck area to be welded. Even a single bar in the middle instead of the 2...Also since there is very little room between the rear seat and the tonneu cover piece, pressed or flatened tubing could be used in that small area before it gets welded to the plate on the deck. Maybe I'll photoshop something soon!... And passengers in any car with a steel rollbar is a bad idea overall.

Oh! Any worthwhile metalcraft shop can make a rollcage for a car and I bet they'd be willing to work with you on what you want exactly. Goodluck!

 

ok, roll cages might have a function for safety or bodyflex reasons, BUT definately do not enhance the look of a vert. Even the one from thirdgenresources (which is a crappy company btw) projectcar looks like ***

 

I think a double hoop style bar would look great. Someone should photoshop it.

 

something like this one

yeah, that's great, looks like a shopping basket....

 

I agree with Graboid - I meant a double hoop like 1 inverted U-shaped bar behind each seat -Shelby cobra style - You see them all the time in other cars. Sorry if that did't make sense

 

Graboid,

I can see why you dont get the idea cuz You have said befor. Your not into Power. but some us are and will need one to goto the track now and then.

I love a vert just as much as anyone else and this is why I picked one up to tinker with and drop a 418sb with twin turbos in.

I dont belive I could get away with a motor like this with out puting in a 8point cage along with my sfc's

and if your thinking to say well you shouldnt use a vert for such a motor. Well I already did the T-top thing with my 92Z and a 383. Im moving on and converting to a vert now.
