Great work, and after that crash you can definitely see the need for the rules.

Thanks Guys, Broc has done a great job on James' car. We just have to figure how to weld around each and every tube on the rollcage. It will be tight on some parts but I think we have a solid plan to get it handled. We will be finishing the other parts of bars we have to do and then starting making the gussets.

Rodger,If you are careful you can bend a 6011 welding rod right on the end so it's easy to reach those tight spots.About 2 inchs from the end bend the tip of the rod at 45 degree angle.And Bazinga,tight corner welding made easy.

Continued progress on the door bars in James's car.






The tube fit on this project is perfect.

Question, should you not first weld the underlying tube before welding the overlaying tube in your triple connection? I have done lots of tube work on vintage airplanes and never left any part of a tube unwelded.

We want to build all the bars and gussets first. Then the cage will have get slide forward to get it entirely welded around each tube. Don't worry we have it handled.

This is the area I am speaking of.



I can see it is all tacked and would be full welded at a future point once full built, just did not know how far you would disassemble to fully welded.
