Ford Chevy it doesn't matter that truck isn't running a Ford axle.

Yeah because the axles are crying under that Ford and the jeep is just ridiculous. The old Subaru has that cheap death race feel lol

Actually this post is not a year old lol. But I haven't purchased anything yet. I am leaning towards the everlast 250ex. Because it has all the functions you could ever want and is only a few hundred dollars more than a Lincoln 200. Once your over 1400 might as well go to 1700 and get all the settin...

This one is complete and suppose to be on the track this weekend. But I haven't talked to the owner yet to see if it made it. Last I know it was at the tuner but having problems.

Must be planning on a side roll. The lights face left and right. Not out the front. Toyota guys... They all seem confused in the trails... Maybe it's better they use square tube. God will sort them out...

Best bang for the buck.. I have been looking at the everlast 250ex and a friends is looking at the Lincoln 200 square wave. I suggested the everlast power tig 200 dv. So here's the question what's the best bang for the buck? And I really want to here from people that own these 3 machines. What's you...

Little update I had to take a little over a week off for some other things. I will have the done by Saturday also have a couple of welds to repair machine started acting funny. Nothing major but I don't like the look of the weld.so here is another pic. Also have a few more tubes to put in. But you g...

This is the pic of the jeep cage I did. No holes in the floor little tight welding but it was built in 3 sections then installed back into the jeep already painted I just had to clean up where I was welding. Then I added the support tubes after it was installed. And it was done.

No I actually had seen this done on a jeep xj years ago. And thought that was a good idea till I had to do one in an xj myself and decided to do it different. But with an scca car you have to fallow rules and the only way to fallow these rules is to do it this way. Or cut a hole in the roof. And I'm...

Okay.

How about non-lemons where chopping up panels isn't an option?[/quote]


Otto is right but I still can't bring myself to do it that way. Lemons is a cheap form of racing. But I treat everybuild the same no matter what. You might be aloud to do it that way but I still do it the way I explained.

Can I please ask a massively, massively stupid question? (Before you slap me, bear in mind I am a motorcycle racer. We don't have roll cages... ;) ) So, you bend and cut your tube, put it inside the car, tack it together...how do you finish a tube weld around the back where the panel steel gets in ...

Yeah I have seen it. They just did the roadkill retreat from moscow that started near my house.

This actually isn't a hard job. There are gm sway bar mounts you can buy from energy suspension. Then you just need to find a sway bar from another car that meets your needs. The welding from this point would be on the parts that you would be attaching this to.

So after a lot of planning measuring more planning and reading the rules to make sure it complies with the rules. And here's day 2 the main cage is bent fit tacked now it's time to add all the braces support doors bars dash bar. So I can get the steering wheel out of the drivers lap.

After getting the stock seat out and scraping the junk off the floor. And breaking out the tube bender. And 2 solid days of work things are taking shape. This is day 1

So I got a call from a gentleman about building a race car. We talked he told me what he wanted and sent me a copy of the rule book. After reviewing I decided why not it looked like fun. So here we go the start to the 24 hours of lemons impreza roll cage.

No this is how the bed will look no outside skins. It will have a built in tool box and a rack that will lock in on top. The bed will have the box fuel cell and spare tire the rack will be for carrying camping gear because the bed is pretty full. The idea of the bed was based on this pic. And trust ...

Little more work done tonight. Final fender trim and step frame made and welded on.

Yes sir.

Just wait till you see the bed I have to build for a ford f350. It's a welding rig truck so it's getting all kinds of things put into that.

I like it! :) Have you got a free Square Card Reader yet? I got one since a lot of people can't pay with cash, but do have a credit card :D It's hard most of the cars guys I deal with have to make payments lol. It's funny you ask that. My wife and I also own a daycare center and she just got a card...
