Got my roll bar hoop the other day and fitted in the car. Works nice and sits just a tick above the targa bar.
Anyway I am going to put the forward diagonals from 4" below the curve of the hoop and have them end up 3-4 inches forward of the hand brake cut out. I am also going to penetrate the fire wall and tie in the rear shock towers to the hoop. is putting the Engman kit a good idea or would 16ga. scab plates under the bars at car connection points be enough. Remember lighter is better. Mainly concerned with stiffening the car for Autocross. at this point I wil never run Wheel to wheel racing in this car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Yeah, that is a problem, what do you do with a hot rod......
In my case I got to a point where the car was no longer comfortable on the street....never was during my ownership when compared to a modern car....but it got down right gnarly. Bout the only time I drove it on the street was to test sumthin' out and you can get in trouble doing that. I never was much of a show & shine/cruiser type, so making the jump to a trailer queen wasn't that tough. I guess you could say I willingly skied the slippery slope.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
