Why do you want to chop the top?  I think it look's awesome the way it is.  Cool looks short and stout.  That thing should track like it's on a rail.

Some of us are tall,  ;D  and the additional head room would be good for the test run.  Looking good, any luck on engine?

Thanks Fast!  Always going to be nitpicky things on a first try.  I guess I need to get the seats mounted before making any rash moves.  :)

Looks good - something to do when you get snowed in........  LMAO   


Chop the top?   How much head room do you have as it sits now?  I wish i had a bit more.  Belts will stretch A LOT in a roll over.  I would not be so quick to chop the top?

Engineer,you should try to have 6" overhead clearance as yummi says the belts AND your body stretches a lot more than most people realize.

Yup,
even in a good helmet, your head hitting the cage will definately RING YOUR BELL
Fabr and I speak from experience on the you and the harness stretch way more than you think...
After my aggrivated corner to corner, barrel extravogansa I got rid of the harness cuz I had to pull it a couple of more inches than before to get it cynched up to where it was supposed to be,  before the crash
But I kept the helmet and wore it with pride...road rash and all rofl
But any impact to the helmet it should be inspected and then replaced since the suspension material may be damaged ...that is it's job and it has done it ;D

It has 6-8".  I haven't had a seat in and made vroom vroom noises for a while.  It will be fine.

I am about ready to mount up the seats to know for sure.  There are some other things I should do first.  Rear upper shock mounts, rack spacer and tie rods, add a cou[ple more misc gussets, finish welding the whole chassis so I don't have to keep worrying about covering things that need welded.  Mabey get a steering wheel in place to help with deciding seat position?

There used to be an issue where users would end up getting two sessions, one on www.dtsfab.com and one on dtsfab.com which is now resolved. A side effect to that is all your images which you did not specify the www on are now broken. Sorry. As a side note, you can specify bracket img width=# and height=# end bracket to speed up the page.

In roundy round they call it "The Petty Bar"
It gives the front of the Halo 1/2 again the strength, if it gets tied into the lower pod
