You need to take a class on strength and materials to learn how metal behaves when you deform it.
when my car is actually fast I might think about a roll cage, good luck with that.

I'm building an LS block to put my b16 head on and to boost the ---- out of, that should be fast if all goes well.

Re:Home Made Roll Cages?????
---- it... im still gonna do it... im most likely gonna reinforce the bends with some pplates.....
IM not that fuckn dumb.... well just have to see what happens....
I just think.... A rollcage is better than NO rollcage?
unless its one of those stupid APC showcage, i think i could do without a pipe through the forehead in a rollover

Re:Home Made Roll Cages?????
usually and eight point roll cage will be made out of 1 5/8, but 6 point roll bar would be made out of 1 3/4, and they usually made out of .134 wall. the NHRA rule for thickness is less than that but they use sonic testers for the thickness and the tubing will get thinner on part of teh bends, and manufacturing procees for DOM tubing can't control the thickness perfectly.
