Fabbing up the Chute Pack……..All Chromoly
It’s been awhile….but finally back to work on the Roadster………..
Took the new project to the Cleveland Piston Power show along w/ other Slick Devil car club HotRods and Customs.
Inside the Cleveland IX Center...thanks for the pic Don !

Mounted seat, belts, gas pedal and fabbed up some helmet bars….for 333
1'' helmet bars tacked into place.
Front of new five point cage….on the 333 chassis
Front of old six point cage.
Front of new five point cage.
Changed the helmet bars from a six point to a five point on the 333 chassis..
Old six point cage profile
New five point side profile.
I never did finish weld the helmet part of the chassis…Something did not look correct to me……I waited to take a real good look at it once the chassis was set on the floor…and then I knew I needed to change at least the side profile…But ended up cutting the tact welds and removed the entire top. I bent up new hoops using the full 7” radius of my 1-5/8” die..I also went from a six point top cage to a five point cage. I laidback the front hoop harder and I finally like the end result. The cage now has some visual flow and is all around allot tighter.
