Re: '66 Malibu N/SA
Jeebus Dave...did they use a stick welder? Good luck with your initial tests.

Re: '66 Malibu N/SA
I don't think that roll bar will pass NHRA, tech if they had tech.....

Re: '66 Malibu N/SA
My concern would be the side bars. They appear way too low.

Re: '66 Malibu N/SA
I've seem better welding, but since I did my own I won't comment on that. As for the questions raised about the bar placement, everything seems to be where the book wants it to be on a roll bar stocker.
No Malibu stocker scares me... except one around here. Make that two. Same guy...

As far as the cage goes, yeah now that I look more critically at the welds they're not the prettiest. But I've looked at both the rule book and the roll bar closely and I'm satisfied it's legal. Of course if a tech inspector says otherwise I'll get the issue resolved. |

Re: '66 Malibu N/SA
I've been told several times that when the driver is seated and he puts his hands on the steering wheel at 10 and 2 o'clock that the side bar should pass thru a line between the shoulder and elbow. In reality this puts the side bar very high. Often I start the bar parallel to the rocker from the main hoop for a short distance then turn it down to the floor. Remember that bar is designed to keep you in the car if you ever barrel roll in a crash.

Re: '66 Malibu N/SA
If you get to Fontana in two weeks, drop by my pit area and say Hi. Always like Chevelles, hope you bring the car.
