Going on a diet

Don't bring me into this...

Richard,
Is that angle bar on the "B" pillar & behind the seats going to get any more bracing than that? It doesn't look like it's doing to much to me the way it's sitting. Why not the traditional "X" or upside down "V"? I do like the lines of the rig.
 
What happened ot the EXO cage?

I did some trading with Travis over at Roark Fabworks, he is building the cage for me since I still have not put power out to my shop yet, he is building it to WEROCK Pro Modified specs, that is what they call for, I will be going over to check it out this weekend and will look at it better

I was looking at that, and it's kind of interesting. The B area ends up being four triangles, which should be plenty strong. Leaves a nice cross bar to mount the harnesses to. The B pillar uprights are pretty strong that way, but I wonder about the middle of the A and B top bars.......unless it's just not finished yet.
 
There is gonna be a tube across the dash with the traditional windshield V so that sould take care of the topbar support for the A pillars, I will have to look at it when I go over there next for the B pillar top bar, I am rear mounting the Radiator so that is a major consideration on the tube work behind the seats.
 
Rich, most don't have a middle support on the B pillar hoop. It's strong enough, the only risk is bending it if you landed directly on a rock.
 
You are probably right, Travis builds alot of competition chassis and knows his stuff. I have alot of trust in his ideas. At this point, I just tell him what I want it to look like and he figures out the structure and makes it work.
 
That looks über-pimp! Really mean looking face..

What are you doing for front suspension, if anything? Is that factory LCA bracketry?

I noticed you still have the plastic vacuum canister hanging? :D
