Looks good, I like the way you did your braces.

The boss-man let me have the day off today so I had time to get back to the cage.  I think I have the cockpit area the way I want it and ready to weld out.  Seats are mounted and everything is braced up for some extreme speed!  I think the cage is more than adaquate for the speeds we can achieve with the stock 4-banger.  But later incarnations of this racer may include much more horsepower and I want the cage to be ready for whatever we can dish out.

Dude! That is frickin' sweet!

Looking Really Great! Not bad for your second Sidekick Cage...

Love the front gussets on the down bars near the windshield.... very nice !
Did you extend the cage forward through the firewall to the frame or strut towers? Or... is that a secret? Are you doing the down bars in the rear like we did mine?

Yep, all that is coming.  Just haven't got there yet.  I will post up the pics when I do.

Rear cage and rear suspension are taking shape. Thats a dummy shock poking up thru the sheet metal...

Thats  sweet.   Joe!

Very interesting!

More updates...

Sorry for posting in an old thread, but where might I find some more info on the rigs built for the Zukiworld Challenge?? I am very interested in "affordable" racing. I would love to see some buildup threads to see if I might be able to build one

Thanks Eric, I read the rules posted here, I'd just like to see what others have built. Especially those who have already run a season.  Did this car here ever get finished and run any races?? I like pictures    Are there threads of past races?? Are people hush hush about their rigs because of the competitive aspect of the events?

Definitely not hush-hush on my end. You are more than welcome to come look at the ZWO car and the Liberty Overland car and gleen anything you would like off of them.

There are articles on the main page and in the archive about the racing.

So the race is next week, time to start working on the race car.

The race winning thoroughbred has been put out to pasture since last year.  It fired right up.  First things first.  The steering reservoir outlet had broken off during the last year and had to be replaced.


Prior to work.
