Man I just realized that our main hoop plates WAY exceed the 1/8" requirement.

We used some plates pre-made from some off-road rollcage stuff and they're 1/4" thick.

When do I need a roll bar or roll cage, and what should it look like?

^^ a roll bar is exactly what we put in my girlfriends car. Its easier to build one of these from the start, and if you do ever get faster you can just build off the roll bar and turn it into a cage.

you'd have to talk to someone else about that, I bought the car with the underhood as you see it.

Stage 1 continues - The Cage Begins

This is the makings of the main hoop sitting outside the car


These next two are the side rails being mocked up, we didn't get much done tonite after a full day at work. These will be split to allow the main hoop to pass through, somewhere near the bend by the door




This shows the slight bend and the foot of the sidebars, we opted to do this so it would be easier to center on a plate, yet we could get the upper portion of the bar as close to the door as possible.


Shot of both sidebars just sitting mocked in place, you can see the main hoops oversized base plate, the main hoop leans back to meet the bend above it, then heads straight up to match the doorline


Rear view of one side bar.


Rear view both sides in place


Next session at the shop we should get the bars coped out and start welding some stuff together. I'll post more as soon as I have some.
