Lynda's "CJ" Buildup Progress

corner braces done - seat mounts are the only major thing left. I spent last night in Houma LA though - I'll be able to work on it tonight though.

I might have to change the overhead bars to go straight (with the side) because of how close to my head they are - could put a bend in them too if I need to.

I got the Halos and the middle cross bar done. I will get the middle "B" pillar vert. bars done tonight. The rest is just bracing, the major design is done.

When I measured from the floor plate to the bottom of the tube it was 46.5" which is a little low to me. I almost wish that I didn't keep the span between the "A" pillar and the "B" pillar level. It might've been better to have a little slope to it for some increased headroom.

I've allways thought the overhead bars at an angle were a bad idea. Besides not looking as cool, what's wrong with just running them straight? I've even seen some that just have one in the center.

it's definitly stronger to have them going from the corner - but the main thing is that it looks cool

Straight A pillars are where it's at!!!

i couldnt find the thread scott. it was probably one of those, "critique my cage" threads. here is my interpretation. :flipoff2:

did you actually spend time drawing that??? :rolleyes:

aww c'mon, its a comp cut pink CJ. its funny and you know it. plus, its dead week and i have a final i need to be studying for... what else am i supposed to be doing?

Well in that case you got it all wrong. It's going to be white with a pink roll cage and accessories. Geez, pay attention will ya!

seats mounted, grill hoop done.

Cox said that his grill hoop was already done - so I guess I can post these pics :flipoff2:

I changed the overhead spreaders to go straight with the sides. I valued my head over the overall strength of the cage. I think that cracking my head open on the bar seemed more likely than the cage bending.
