Really cool to see those cage pics. Love that it's tied into the rear shock mounts through the firewall. Man that must make the car feel so solid!

We are making a few tweaks to the rear cage. Keep in mind this is more of a harness bar than a full roll cage, but it will add safety and allow use of harnesses on track.
This is a bit of a balance of some usable space in the back, but adding some chassis stiffness, and some safety.
Front hoop will pull a little bit forward, but it won't be fully tied to the B pillar, it will be welded to the chassis up near the window.
Rear mounts will attach at the shock towers with plates.
The rear X lower cross bars will drop down and also attach at the shock tower
Rear section will be spaced out a bit more.
We're using 1 3/4 tubing for front hoop and drops to rear shock towers. Rest is 1 1/2.

Pulling the bar fully to the B like on a race car requires additional bends and you lose OEM belt mount and OEM headliner mounts become an issue.

B pillar tie ins?

Spyerx

Yes, evaluating options. Looks like you had same situation! Is your build complete?

nolift911

Complete as in "relatively" complete....
I am starting the sunroof delete now -

Spyerx

As complete as any of these are. They are living beasts!

I talked with the fabricator this AM and he is considering something like what you've done to tie it more directly to the B pillar. Unfortunately wanting OEM headliner, some clearance, OEM belt connection means other compromises... pros and cons to each.

Spyerx

B pillar will be gusseted. Rear x not installed. Plates for shocks not done. Holes will be sealed up. Will have rs carpets.







Probably done tomorrow.

is there a respary in its future?

Spyerx

no. I don’t want it too nice. At some time in the distant future I’ll paint the whole car. Not now. Paint is serviceable as it is.
