Pop N Wood Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Katman, if you are around, just wondering what you think of this cage and subframe connectors. I know it is not ITS spec, but looks like a pretty good drag racing layout. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2410409395&category=6472 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katman Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Awesome car. Beautiful work. Cage looks like the typical S&W or Chassisworks beginnings. For drag racing I suppose all you need is something to attach your belts to and meet the NHRA rules. For road racing it would need a real diagonal in the plane of the main hoop, an attachment to the rear strut towers with a "strut bar", a crossbar just above the tranny tunnel connecting the two forward downtubes, more generous plating between said downtubes and the floorboards, and at least two "NASCAR" style horizontal door bars on the drivers side before I put one of my drivers in it. So, it ain't what I'd consider safe for road racing, but it probably meets the criteria for which it was built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted May 19, 2003 Author Share Posted May 19, 2003 I guess I liked the way they brought the cage through the firewall and into the engine compartment. I also like how inconspicuous it would be for a street machine (and the overall quality of work). I found it curious that they didn't tie into the strut towers, either front or rear. It is almost like they only wanted to stiffen the frame rails and nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
