When I was starting this project It was hard to find pics of c4's with a full cage so hopefully these will help someone...(plus I just figured out how to post pics!!)

lol, yeah, the wife wouldn't like that anyways. It will be a time trial car mostly but I will still take it out on the street this summer before it becomes a fulltime racecar next year.

MRC-That looks nice, I've always wanted one of those. All the more fun to watch the babes crawl over the bars to get in and your safer.
How did you attach the the bars to the car?

The cage looks great!

I time trial my 1992 also-my roll bar is a Kirk (bolt-in) that I had welded in. Your cage will really make your car stiff (as you already know).

Thanks for the compliments. I stripped everything, painted the finished interior and put it back together but Graschel Fabricating in Columbus,Ohio did the cage. 1.75" x.120 DOM 6pt w/ Nascar bars both sides. Other than the door bars pretty standard. I figured if I end up rolling this thing it would be nice to know that professionals did the work instead of me and billybob shrugging our shoulders and polishing off a 30 pack saying looks good ahe?!?

i think that is using good judgement, cause billybob and even worse his half brother joebob do good work when they are sober, but it is hard to get much work done between 8:30 and 10:00 am

it does look good!!!!
