Decided to add a horizontal tube across the main hoop legs and stitch it to the transmission tunnel. This tube should help considerable if the car gets t-boned right around the main hoop/door area. It should help keep the cage from collapsing inward. Basically should help support the mid-section of the cage in a side impact.
It's safe to say after my new (coming soon) door bars and all the new tubes the car should be much safer.
It was trickier to fit
than I thought as we had to cut a diagonal notch for the diagonal bar from the main hoop.....
this one was kinda rough...
The driver side weld came out MUCH better.
Then I welded the tube to the transmission tunnel, should help integrate the cage in one more location to the unibody (there are many others)
and now the complete view of this weekends work...including the new tranny tube....
