Despite all my rage, I feel like a rat in a CAAAAAGGGGGEEEEE........
I guess from a safety standpoint a cage is kind of a must. I just hate having a daily driver that you have to hop over the bar that goes across the door opening to get in. This will be especially NOT COOL when your taking out some hottie in high heels! Now that I'm single! Right JohnnyR! I heard they have cages that get around this problem by actually coming apart when you open the door and then click in when you close it. Anyone ever heard of this?
swing out door bars and low mount door bars kinda defeat the purpose of the cage, while they ARE better than nothing(and technically legal in some racing sanctions), in the event of a "cage test" guess where the weakest link will be.
it sounds like you have pretty much decided to build a full on race car with plates.... and that is COOL. but before you decide on how to make it "user friendly" you should probably get a hold of some tech regs for whatever kind of racing you wanna do, and make sure that the whole thing is "legal". otherwise, it will be a giant waste of time and money when you show up to your favorite event and are turned away because the car wont pass tech.
The funny part is that he doesn't plan on doing any real racing. He just wants to stiffen up the chassis. Novanutscrape, I recomend you take a look at The Mule's cage set up. Totally stealth. Nothing obstructing the passenger entry and exit.
Lemme guess JohnnyR......You like camaros right? LOL to those reading this post other than JohnnyR, he and I are partners in certain ventures so he showed me the sweet '69 that he owned in his "idiot" days. He's been jonesin' ever since and since he has kinda had bozo partners in the past, he kinda got taken advantage of so I'm trying to hook him up and get some benjamins in his pocket and a '69 camaro in his garage! Sorry JohnnyR, hope that wasn't TMI!!! . Oh.....before I forget......I BOUGHT A '66 NOVA COUPE!!!!! F#*K YEAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!! It should be arriving this afternoon! I can't wait. Now I gotta see when Wayne Due will have some time to build me the frame. I'll be posting pictures as soon as I can. Wish me Luck!!!
So Nutcase, when are you gong to post pictures of your new ride you just picked up? Also, when you finalize your plans with you-know-who, post them. We want to know who's shop is going to build this beast.
JohnnyR knows how crazy busy we've been so I've only been able to see my 66 at night in my garage. Maybe I'll just shoot photos of it there. Mike Hall- I ended up buying a car right here in sunny so cal.
