3-4" plus trimmed lots of frame, but I don't have a radiator up front.Originally Posted by Sparling
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
Got the rear axle mostly moved 14 inches forward. That'll give me a 120" wheelbase when I move the front axle 3" forward. Going to work on pulling and selling/scraping the 360/np435/Dana 21 this week so I can put the 460/c6/1354 in and then build driveshafts and dominate the Baja course. I also have some tube to get started on the cage. Just need to find some buckets for it.

Got the motor and trans pulled. List of things to do before I put the new motor in:
Front axle
Disk braked rear axle
Brake lines
Steering
Cage
Find narrow 8 lug steel 16.5 rims
I also have to figure out if I can make the speedometer work with the new stuff.

Any other tubes I should add for just a simple cage? All the legs will got to plates that sandwich the floor with rubber insulators and then to the frame. Also going to tie whatever seats I get into the cage and sliders.

That's not very simple. I planned on making the hoops around the door so you don't have to bend on 2 axis. Then its just straight bars across. Shouldn't the door bars tie into the a pillar?
They aren't door bars, they're supposed to help keep the cage from folding forward or back. I'm either not running door bars or I'm running tube doors but that's down the road.

I know they aren't used as doors.......that's just what I thought they were called. Tying them into the a-pillar would be easier than making another outrigger from the frame. No?
Probably.

That's not a hard bend at all. Just bend up a hoop, then turn it 90 degrees to level and put the kinks in it.
rear down bars?

This and I never like how there is nothing real substantial keeping the front from folding down.

I just watched a spider dominate a fly on the wall outside, i thought would would travis do? and i did the opposite, spider lives!
Could maybe eventually tie the cage into some shock hoop contraption when I get coilovers.
