Nice cage action. Being as how you're not fighting a weight issue it makes it convenient to do what you wish with respect to safety.

True. We won't skimp but I can tell you it won't be a monkey-bar set-up back there just for the sake of having more bars like some cages we see.

Exactly. It makes more sense to build a safe cage with as little material as possible, then put the ballast where we want to put it.

I like what you're doing with the door bars. But I have one question. How are you going to get the rubber door molding back on the door frame?

[Andy Bettencourt]

Plenty of room.

Cage finished, subframes out, doing the final strip so we can bolt it to the rotisserie and paint the naughty bits.

Note the asymmetry: driver's side has 2 tubes tying into the firewall, while passenger side has only 1. That's to accommodate the heater. I don't think stiffness will be a problem.

Looks great, but,

9.4.3. Cars competing in Improved Touring, Showroom Stock, Spec
Miata, and Touring may extend ONE tube, from each front
down tube, forward to the firewall but not penetrating the firewall.

what a stupid rule.
