Wow I dont think I have ever seen oldyeller so worked up,  watch that blood pressure man      you know what the doctors say  .  As far as my  it doesnt do any good to critisize before the jobs done, obviously this thing is a work in progress and I doubt anyone cares to die driving it, there seems to be plenty of people with experience working on it to put together something destined to fail.  I have seen alot of projects where I wondered what the crap (many of them mine )  but when you give people a chance they come together and work quite well.  So anyways nice work guys, cant wait to see it come together!!   

[*FFC*]

We got quite a bit done this evening... but it's more details than noticeable.. but I"ll let Matt tell ya all about it I hurt everywhere... man I should spend more evenings in the garage!! 

[Blingn]

FFC is a dang superstar   I cant thank her enough.  I would have got it done, but not in time for moonrocks without her help I would have got it done b4 mcr   We still got quite a bit to do.  But here we go 4 now. 

[Blingn]

now that I have a critic I took alot more pic's of the notches and how they magically disappear,

[Blingn]

WARNING THE NEXT PIC WILL BE FROM FAR AWAY BUT IT STILL HAS NOTCHES!!

[Blingn]

[Wermz84]

[Blingn]

[BLACKDOG]

  looks good guys   glad to see those notches, make sure everything is all nice and tight


I know this is a question, but you're "X"ing the b pillars right? 

[jimbo74]

good job matt, much better....


i didnt say matt was building a shitty cage just asked about the notches because the pics didnt look there was any. no need to get all worked up....

i talk to matt daily on aim and ffc every so often too, i used to hang out with ffc a lot before she moved.

[Blingn]

for the moonrocks trip just the one in the middle for now for mcr the X will be done and the support to the unibody will be welded better, and the rest of the cage work should be done

I thought that top part would be enough.  I was thinking of putting cross braces on the bottom half to keep the bottom part of the cage from bending in. 

[dizzydevil]

I vote for this one its saweeet!!!

Me too, its pretty

I thought that top part would be enough.  I was thinking of putting cross braces on the bottom half to keep the bottom part of the cage from bending in. 

  I already PMd  matt about it, but without "X" it, you're not gonna get much (if any) lateral support.  The triangulation is what makes it strong,  Without tying it all together with cross bars, the horizontal bar will fold with enough pressure (laying it over)   and that vertical bar will only support in a direct impact  on the roof, which prolly won't happen.  I would definitely X both the top and the bottom, the bottom for exactly the reason you're talking about,  and the top to give more rigidity and support to the B-pillars, and the bars you've already got in there (horizontal and vertical bars) 

[iNfErNaL]

Hey Matt,found a couple pics I thought I'd post for some ideas.

[papa mike]

this is a awsome build  ,,like me  you have a budget  and it looks likes its working good

[Blingn]

not much done tonight got the cross bars notched sized and some of them welded
