Progress on my roll cage

[norvalwilhelm]

I didn't work alot on the cage this weekend due to getting ready for christmas and winter. Cutting firewook and getting christmas decorations down from storage, putting up lights and decorating 2 in house trees.
Anyway things went well the little time I did spend
This is a side shot of the upper hoop. With the Tee roof on it disappears.

This is a shot of the down tube, it hugs the pillar, I really don't want to infringe on my wifes visibility through the windshield nor leg room

This is what the bar looks like with the Tee roof on

This is the stud in the floor with the tube going through the firewall. This tube is not removeable. The floor is fiberglassed to the stud as is the firewall to the through pipe.

The big thing is the down tubes come out easily and yet are held in really well. The tubes don't hang down blocking view, leg room and make you feel like there is a cage around you.

Absolutely outstanding work, you are very lucky to have such a complete workshop, and you are obviously very organised to keep everything so clean as you work.
Again, thats an outstanding beast you are building.

Thank you yellow 77 but I am annal about everything, my house, my lawns, my flowerbeds, my outbuildings, even my lawn tractors.
The shop is rugged and most nights I vacuum them before going in the house.
My main hobby is horses and I spend alot of time with them. I shoe on the side for extra vet money so it keeps me busy.
The car is just something to keep me busy. I can't watch TV for more then 1 hours and days get long without something to fill them.
The car keeps improving year by year. Maybe in a few more years it will be finished. Has been about 15 years so far.
