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.

I understand what you asking and we will remove that tube when we know the customer likes everything and fully weld that seam. We have it handled. I think

No problem, I understand the direction, just observing the progress and enjoying the show. Thanks for clarifying.

Nice, alway wanting to see cool purpose-built cars.
Will there be any update on the OLC? Been seeing a lot of progress on FB,but nothing on the forums.

Most full custom cages get mocked up and tacked into place then a weld order gets established before it is all fully welded. It takes a lot of planning for a cages system especially as elaborate as this one. If not done right will make more work and wasted tubing later. If done properly some sections can be removed or disconnected from the chassis to be welded.
Looking forward to seeing more of the RS.R Camaro. I've said it before, but you guys are definitely pushing the envelope.
As for the OLC, I'm looking forward to the day that is back on the road too. It isn't the lightest car on earth, and I'm tired of being enlisted to help push it around. I would comment about how it is looking, but I'm not Dick or Jon
