Minor update, we got the front half laterals tacked in, along with the forehead bar, and the roof X. We've put lots of time into getting nice fitting bars and joints and it is paying off :) The cage is coming together nicely so far, here is some pics of the roof bars.
Here is the X in the roof and the forehead bar in place, eventually there will be gussets in the center of the plate, and a brace welded to the car at the center of the windshield.
This is the node for the main hoop X-brace and front latter on the passenger side, this particular joint gave us a lot of grief, we got it fitting better now, and there is still at least 3 more bars that will intersect at this point.
front node where the forehead bar, front half lat, and roof X all meet.
Right side main hoop node, not nearly as tough to fit-up.
Heres the enter of the X, just held on with tape now so we can check everything out before cleaning all the ends.
Front lateral fitment along the A-pillar on the passenger side
This will also get gusseted once we are finished raising and lowering the cage to weld the top of the roof joints.
and all together on the drivers side, lookin' snazzy hey?
passenger side
So, thats all for now. Next is to drop the cage through the floor and start welding the top, do the gussets and then get started on the lower portion of the cage and rear stays.
stay tuned! Same Bat e-channel, no guarantees on what bat time it will be though.
