Thaks for the advice tech but i still want to keep the car as a street legal driver which i think i can even with the front downtubes. my biggest problem is finding a correctly shaped hoop that is wide enough for my cars body.
i measured a hoop from a mid 70s camaro 48 inches outside measusrement, need a little more than that.
I thought that the hoop had to be a single piece not spliced at any point?
i do agree that the alterd type cage would be safest as it would protect the driver the most, but it would make the car race only.
i wish someone would list the hoop dimensions.
