Two weeks to go. Is our cage any good?

That's a good looking simple cage and the only thing you might need to add is a horizontal bar that goes between the two rear down bars. Other than that the cage looks great. The only thing I would have done different is gut the dash & put a dash bar in there and ran the harness bar all the way across the main hoop. Good job.

One of our drivers looks like Man Mountain Dean and we decided to do it that way to get the halo above his melon, we were able to tuck it up inside the roof.  The car we had before had the tubes run straight back to the main hoop and Big Boy's noggin was about even with the top of the halo tube. It concerned me that if that big piece of crap ever got on its roof his helmet could hit the asphalt. I did a cage in a Saturn for another team last year with a similar design for the same reason, that one passed.

About the dash bar: again due to our driver size disparity (we have a real Mutt and Jeff scenario, why can't everyone be the same size? ) we need to keep the tilt wheel. A dash bar would pretty much eliminate that. I got to rooting around behind the dash and found that this car already has a factory installed dash bar which is about 2" forward of the front legs of the cage. I was thinking about adding short tubes to tie the cage to the factory dash bar.

Is it a good idea to add a diagonal to the rear braces?

if they did the halo and the front legs first, they could tip it up and finish withouth worrying about 360 welds, easy to do when not against the roof

Then it's the camera perspective, it doesn't look like you have any room to get a gun up there.

Looks good.I think the halo above head will be an issue .Looks like a 88-91 civic HB .I ran a 88-91 4dr for last 3 years and my seat was 4' off floor and its was a tight fit to roof but had 5'8"-6'7" drivers .

My car lasted 8 races til it got rearended .
these cars are light was saved my car was bend some tubing and run behind front fenders and will help with making front end stiffer too.

As for dsh its like 10 minutes to get dash out then you lose light 30 lbs of crap and a lot of room..Be careful with heater controls if they are good you can get $50 for them on ebay .

run a piece of tub from your a pillar bars on cage to a pillar on car near the bottom where the dash br would be.

call me if you got any question built a bunch of Lemons cages and honda cars.
Got tips.

Our lines run inside the left rocker panel. Why Honda put them there is beyond me. In the top and middle pictures you can see where we bent the lines inside out of the way temporarily while the cage was being built. We then tweaked the bends in the lines so they would clear the main hoop, cushioned close contact areas with short chunks of cheapo fuel line and then made aluminum plates to go over the lines, those are fastened to the car with 'drill n' tap' screws. The rules say fuel lines routed inside the car need to be encased in metal, there seems to be an allowance for factory installed lines but we weren't taking any chances.
