We don't cut the downbar.As far aspricing there was such a clamoring for photos I advanced them earlier than planned for product rollout and so product pricing still hasn't been established because as Steve has said this is a very labor intensive kind of roll cage. We've installed them in cars but are still learning what it will take to offer this as a type of production piece. I haven't yet been able to establish pricing for a production kit since things are still in development.Ed

I am very interested in this! Please keep us posted!

How much custom interior work does the roll cage require to put the interior back together? I am wondering how the A-Pillar covers will fit also what about installing the headliner and dash???

From a previous post...

Quote:

To answer questions in regard to tubing diameter and wall thickness. I imagine things can change and the different classes can definitely have different standards and the standards may have changed. The cage can be done in any diameter and wall thickness. Our experience with doing David Farmers C6 World Challenge Corvette specified for that SCCA event a 1 and 3/4 .095 mild steel or a 1 and 5/8 .125. The Nascar classes 1 and 3/4 .095 mild steel. Most NHRA classes we have had experience with specify 1 and 5/8 .125 mild or .083 chrome moly. Our cage in the photos is 1 and 5/8 .125 DOM mild steel without tight radius bends which can compromise wall thickness. We can accomodate any other specifications but again I defer to the expert in my facility who says our cage will stand up to most demands put on the street cars we produce. Ed

You won't use the A pillar covers, the bar with the sheet metal molding becomes the interior trim. A very light skim coat and apply your interior color. The way the headliner works is that a piece of foam will be glued up and sculpted to the bar in the roof again becoming part of the interior. The liner will then be put onto the foam. Best way to describe it would be an attempt to sculpt as much of the roll cage into the interior as possible. I'll keep things posted through Scott as we continue development. Ed

Hey Ed- Rob here... we spoke on the phone some months ago about this cage in kit form. Glad to see you are getting closer to production-readiness with it. When it's ready to fly, I'm ready to buy! :thumbsup:

Ed-
Just saw this for the first time.
I have to say your shop is doing amazing fabrication work. I love the blended A pillars into the cage. Great work.

Damn I'm jealous. Don't show this to my chiropracter--he'll be pissed. We're all building 150mph capable cars, so roll cages are important. This design makes safety downright livable.

Note that my bent door bar/sill bar combination has passed both NHRA and SCCA tech. So you may want to look into this design. Getting out is way easier than with a straight door bar, but it still passes between the shoulder and elbow.
Very nice Ed.
