You might want to talk to Jim

He set it up for me.

If you get it done at precision, tell Jow you want the swing out bars done like mine. He does most of them different, but I like the way he did mine the best.

I'll take a pic of what I mean tomorow

I have seen a lot of Rollcages in my life (been around racing a long time) and Dons Bolts is one of the nicest out there. Very trick and perfectly put in. No hole that was cut was larger then the diameter of the tube. simply awesome.
If I get a cage (Still debating) , that is what I am getting.

dont even bother with mild steel. i believe nhra rules state that it must be chromemoly or at least what i heard is they are going to make the rules read chromemoly only. So if your going to do it do it right. i've had my cage done for almost 2 years now (shortly after Sal did his. i know i haven't even ran an 11 second pass yet but i made the decision since i was racing it i would make it safe for me. you never know what the guy next to you will do.

Rdy2rac, is yours legal though? I thought the rear trailing arms had to go into the frame You then had a choice to weld them on the frame or bolt the rear to the frame?

Seeing Dale's in person and then looking at Don's,. Dales rear legs go back further. What does the rule book say about the rear length?
