Man I love fabrication pics!!!
Keep'em coming,Curious to see what you do in the rear seat area.
I see you did go with the low spine bar.

Chromoly?

Are the bars along the rockers part of the 25.5 deal?
I've only seen them on uni-body cages before......

 

nothing has to go in rear seat area,[except back seat],stock suspended radial tire car , check other posts :laugh:
i went with low bar because,this is first car im building for myself without bench seat,it will have buckets . so we are putting Funny car cage in,so thats why low spine bar.
yes all our cages have been chromoly now for 2-3 years no sence anymore building Mild steel
all cages we build i put rocker bars in, streghthens all cars,and makes chassis car sorta a double rail type :laugh:

Looks good I like what you did underneith Very slick.Now you need to lower it then it's perfect.

It needs to sit like Gary K's car.Of course you can see by my avitar I like um really low The highest point of my car is 47 inches off the ground.

 

tooo low for me,we street drive our cars alot ,plus i like it to not be to noticeable :Brow: bob

I met Bob and his son this week and got a look at the '71 and a few other projects in his shop. The '71 post car is a sight to see. The chassis setup and cage being created should cert the car low 7's. Truly a thing of beauty!
This car will launch like a bullet from a barrel.
Bob is a true gentleman and really knows his craft well. If anyone is considering having a cage made or even a tube frame car I would recomend you give him a call. :TU:

 

thnx Bill nice meeting you to,maybe we will have to test your bullit in there :Brow: :Brow: bob

 

I have a set of factory 15x5 steel wheels on my car. The guy told me they are from a old corvette or 50 something chevy. I used VW beetle tires which I believe are 165 series tires. They look good with my dogdishes.

 

yea 165 vw tire i use the taller tire better for reaction time,and for a heavy car, :3gears: bob
