ron the second pic is exactly what i was talking about, every dirt car/ drag car/ monster i have ever built i always added those bars, just in case of a roll over or a side shot in an accident, 2 more bars might add 3 maybe 4 pounds. granted, you can never anticipate an accident, but id rather be safe then sorry. just my 2 cents worth don. the cage looks awesome no matter what. im not good at the photoshop, so thanks for doing that.
