Re: Have some questions and need some opinions on thrid gen drag car
When I did my cage back in this thread
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/fabr...roll-cage.html
The final weight came in around 182 pounds. I have a mix of DOM and ERW and a mix of different size tubing. It's far more than a a typical 8, 10 or 12 point cage but it's still heavy.
If you had a 36 pound cage or roll bar, it must have been made with exhaust tubing or was a show roll bar, not made for roll over protection.

So following the rules and roughly eyeballing the dimensions of the inside of a 3rd gen, I'd be pretty surprised if you could make a 10pt 4130 lighter than 70# and 1018 lighter than 86#.
