Dimple die plates are welded to the A Pillars to tie the cage into the roof structure which improves stiffness. |
Here is a view from the inside. |
Look how tight the main hoop fits to the unibody. The main hoop is stitch welded to the unibody along its length. This greatly improves chassis stiffness. |
Matt is protected by a nice halo of steel. You can bet the chassis is good and stiff as well to help suspension tuning. |
You can see how the downtube is also welded to the unibody here. |
This is a cage the way a cage should be made. |
Stay tuned for other chapters in this story as we follow the build up of Matt's car!
