So Bob, now that you've done a 25.5 A body, what is the ball park figure someone would be looking at to do one assuming there wasn't any sort of roll bar in there already. Also, let's say I have 2x3 through the floor frame connectors in the car already, do they need to come out and changed to round tube or can they be retained?
I'm not looking for a quote ( to broke right now anyway )but just some knowledge for possible future plans.
Thanks
Looks awesome!
From memory the 2 x 3" through the floor will still be usable, I would have to check my specs to be sure. It does depend on other things also
yes 2x3 is fine for a 25.5 cert. thats whats in this car.
if you have stock floor and trans tunnel you dont need the triangle floor bars or the center X either

Bob, nice job on the paint. Is that a dark gray, or black? Spray painting a full cage sucks, too easy to bump into the wet paint when you're crawling around it!

Looking good Bob. I like the black cage better then the silver. I think they look better when they "blend" in with the rest of the interior. As if you can have a 25.5 cage blend LOL.
