Bonneville Banger Update number VII The cage Begins...

We've been bending tubing and welding it together.

Thanks to Bob Smith for schooling me on the bender and Matt Jamison and Rodger Griffith for helping to fit tubes... I put a couple more in tonight and thought I'd share.

The cage does sit above the belt line of the body, but the tannau cover will be at the "water line" and fit over them. I needed them up that hight to protect my knees.

There is already 45 feet of tubing in it and another 25 to go!

nice start, anymore pics of the body? and what's all the plans for the car?

 

Looks good Sam. I hope someone steps up with an engine in case your's isn't done in time.

Brent... put "Bonneville Banger" into the search engine and you can find updates # I through VI...

Crazydaddy-o... we have a team working on the motor program as we speak. I'm overseeing the group... but they are on it like stink on poo-poo!

thanks. I'm gonna check it out right now after my wife stops yelling at me for laying in the bed and checking the HAMB! Haha. Good thing she loves me.

 

Only one picture, what a tease !

Sorry for the lack of pics... I would love to do a little "how-to" on notching tubing... maybe tonight when we do a couple more.
