[QUOTE="O4L, post: 3278143, member: 24429"] It's been about thirty years ago so I don't remember exactly how long it took. I just remember using all my spare time building and working on race cars for several years. Back then we didn't have the internet so I just found pictures and drawings of NASCAR roll cages and went from there. Like I said, these were full bodied cars with just the doors and front clip removed so I custom fitted the roll cage to the inside of the car body. It was a lot of work but it was also fun at the time. My inlaws were plumbers so they had a nice pipe bender setup. I would cut, bend, and fit the pipe and do a little tack welding then my brother in law would finish weld it all up. I wouldn't have the energy or drive to build cars these days but back then I was ready to conquer the world. [/QUOTE]
