    Rollcage tubing size?

    I build a lot of roll cages and tube chassis. I get the 1.75" x .120" DOM for $50.00 a stick to my door only because of the amount I work with. SFI specs use 1.625" but also say the larger dia the better for them. So 1.75" will work great. That spec is the 25.5 SFI spec.

    I started this build wanting to build the 5 window sedan but I have been looking at some trucks so I MAY go that way but I haven't decided yet. Just a little bit of back ground. My goal was to create each piece by hand then draw the template in CAD so I can make each piece again if I wanted...
