Thought people would like to see some pictures of the roll cage installation in the ChumpCar.

Www.cagethis.com made the kit, so far it's going in very well.

Maybe pull the wire harness and get rid of 40lbs of useless wire.
Also a good time to drill out the ignition key and lock.

Looks good. Keep the pics flowing....

Looks like a pretty nice cage.

Van

Right now we're complying with ChumpCar rules and keeping the wiring stock. Ignition lock will be removed.


Kudos to Cage This - they do nice work.

Is that 1.75" tubing?

I would have kept that main side door bar more parallel instead of diagonal. Looks like it might be tough to egress quickly in an emergency. Most of the PRO44 guys I race with use three parallel door bars roughly 6-8" apart.

Van

Yes. With an 0.095" wall thickness.


The lower bar is a "sill bar" and then there's going to be a gusseted X for the door protection. Like this:

Van, you make me want yo go a get into this kind of racing, but the wife wouldn't be happy with extra money going out the door! So I'll live my racing through your post's. Keep up the good work!!!

ive taken the lock cylinders loose, replaced the bolts with alan head style and slid them down so the lock doesnt work, then tighten them back up- leaves the key in place and no ign. lock. I love building race cars! Everything is custom.

Unfortunately I may have to retrofit and add wiring back in.....most of mine in gone in the shell we bought.

How much was the cage? Interested in building another SP car, need a cage.

Van

It was $1100. No shipping - I picked it up.


Steel DOM. 1.75" x .095" wall.

Took me a week of grinding to get the old rubber crap off the floor.
