adding a door bar?


Recommended Posts

so i have been thinking about adding a door bar to connect the front and back of the cage along the sides and i was wondering what you guys think about it. now i still have to gusset the joints, but i was wondering if it would help with structural integrity at all.

 

and yes i know its not a z, but its a z28 so i thought it would be close enough.

yeah it would... id change that funky front angled bar too.. the line you drew should have been done in the first place. you should just cut out that first small bar and make it a full x door bar..

the problem with that little bar that goes strait down is that its angled and connects to the subframe so i can't connect to it as the passenger seat goes right there, but im probably just going to put a bar going from the joint on the side of the main hoop and go to the angled bar, the reason they didnt put a door bar their in the first place was that when this car was built (1978) it was still daily driven after the cage and everything was added.

 

but trust me the car is stiffer and stronger then most fully cages drag cars.
