Dave,
What was/is the angle of the front loop? Ours is approximately 22 degrees.
Thanks for your input. Phil

It looks overdone to me, too. The only thing is to check the forward angle
bracing. Tech had me add forward bracing to a cage that looks like yours on
the basis that in a rollover the top of the cage could dig in to the salt
and tear the top of the cage off. They let me run but I went home and did
it, as it is a good idea.

Hi Everyone,
Please check out the latest pictures of our car. Please let us know if you
see
any problems with the legality of the rollcage. We think it's over done if
anything. 1 5/8 DOM tubing .134 wall thickness
Thanks Phil and Gary
