That was a lot of work to clean and fab. Burned the seam sealer out so that welding will go smooth, then sprayed silver lacquer on the backsides to protect.
Welded in nice. Left some open spots to help shed moisture. Grinding and tube fitment next.
Just finished fitting c pilar tubes. Fish-mouths + refuel. Iβm on the home stretch.
Happy Sunday. Itβs been a good day…….I think Iβll get some sleep, then get back at it. Having a great time working on race carsπ
Looks as though it is coming along quite nicely.
Another day, another plate. This one reinforces the control arm/rack mount. A tube will just barely fit outside the pedal arm.
Cage is looking great! Very tight fit and well thought out.
Nice work Franz!!
We will build it if it comes.
I 2nd that Pat!!!!!!Β Β Looking sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking so good!! Thanks for getting after it as always.
Lots of goodies coming your way.
Thanks! Loving it. I have used all my energy today. Tight inside and simple through the glass. Thinking about storage and access the whole time too.
More tubes. I have to do the passenger side longitudinal and door bar still…but this is pretty much the design, no A pillars or halo for comfort and access.(but we can always add them later)
The whole chassis has been reinforced for off road racing/jumping/crashing. π Front suspension, to torsion housing, to strut towers, to motor mounts.
Cole made templates for all the gussets yesterday too.

Franz makes nice cages and bends…. πΒ π
On to the passenger side.
Cleaning the smuggler/battery box out. Rusty under the seam sealer. Chemically treated and mig welded the longitudinal tube mounting plate.
This is the hardest tube to bend and fit. I made a mock-up piece out of conduit to get everything perfect, and use as a guide.
