great thread
looks like i wont be going down that road either......saves me from wasting the money.
i am just going to get an autopower rollcage and call it done...
i installed my mad dog frame rails. i had them make me an uncut front section so i could fab a better fit. jmortensen, looks like you stitch welded your rails on. i stitch welded mine on too, then went back and filled in the gaps so it formed a weld bead down the whole length of the rail. i know that might not have been the optimal route to go, but it looked like crud could have easily gotten into those gaps and caused more rust troubles down the road.....
should i have just left them stitch welded?
i think its worth it (the price even includes shipping)...figure in the price of steel, powdercoating, gauges, fittings, and labor and you would come pretty close. easier to just go down to costco and write a check and call it DONE.......
i have a 1966 austin healy sprite. its a great car. fun to drive and easy to work on (it really is) i have found that parts for the later models (non bugeye) are still easy to find. lots of aftermarket parts too. i plan on replacing the stock 50hp motor with a 200hp rotary monster. i have seen a few of these rotary sprite hybrids and they are becoming more and more common. oh and did i mention, they haul a$$
