Looks awesome Jimmy! Did you figure out if you were going to put a 3rd seat in or not?

The office sucks - I wanna go wheeling!
not before clayton, but we were brainstorming tonight about how to do the cage so that the rear passenger would be protected. Got any ideas? Wolverton, you have solidworks or some gayness right? FEMA me something...

Thunderbird will do just fine.
Here's a quick sketch. I colored the second one to try and show better which diagonal was which. I left out the crossbrace and shoulder bar behind the front seats cause it would just clutter up the drawing.Originally Posted by BMFScout

como esta, but with the a-pillar angled back to keep those braces off driver and shotgun's heads, and don't forget the all-important inverted V in the windshield
that looks pimp... leave the windshield white.. looks like a cop car
Very cool indeed. So does the picture above mean that you have to help Flem get ones of his rigs trailworthy? Fair trade. Fair trade.
Damn Brian, that's a kickass sketch. Who knew all of you ****ers had such talent.

The disco ball in my mouth, insinuates I'm ballin'
it's a lot easier when you come to the conclusion that the body is fubar'ed anyway, and that lots of things are "close enough"...
BDR, kickass drawing, I like it. What if I tapered the back down a little as well? That's a whole mess o' tubing, might have to go raid St. John's stash to get it done...

Here's a redraw with the rear sloped down. Only problem I could see is that the rear passenger would have head clearance problems with the other roof bracing, so I redrew it so that the roof bracing crossed, leaving where I think the passenger's head is open. There would be a benefit to this design though....with the rear diagonals (red) lower down they are in about the right spot to provide a place to put a shoulder bar for the rear passenger.
BTW....how far is it from Dallas to Clayton? CDR and I are going to be "kind of" in that area (stephenville) that weekend for her brother's graduation saturday morning, so I thought if it wasn't too many hours maybe we could meet yall out there saturday night.
