I may copy off you as well for that since my 5 point harness seat puts me way too high and my head sticks above the cage slightly at 6'3". What type of tubing bender did you use for the cage. Sorry about all the questions but I'd like ya to school me on this. I'm always looking to learn something new. |
the cage is 2" .120 wall and 1 3/4" .120 wall, appalachian offroad made the cage with all the bends, i got some more 1 3/4 from them and made the dash bar and cross tubes for the seats.
and shane i saw up at aoi the other week, its coming along nicely. definetly be down for some wheelin when its all together.

| i got some more work done today, i got the fuel system plumbed, battery box mounted and started working on my shifter and it is a big pain in the ass. i had to make a new bracket because the one from art carr didnt work, and im having a hard time getting it adjusted, i will go through all of the gears by the time the shifter is in neutral?? so i have to try and figure it out, any help is appreciated.
