The goal for our 1965 Mustang: built a racer that’s legal for competition across sanctioning bodies so we’re not just limited to vintage events.
So now to take a closer look at the roll cage.
The folks at Cobra Automotive got us off to a good start with our cage as they improved the fit of the R-model roll bar …

My Datsun uses a rally spec cage; along with tying the plates into the sills there is an actual sill bar (third door bar running along the upper edge of the sill along the door seam). I'm a fan of the extra bar as I've seen cars speared in the lower part of the door.
Those front spreader plates are beefy!

We like beefy. :)
Also, I was looking at an old Cooper race car at Amelia this weekend. I was with Peter Brock, and he ran one like it back in the day--back when it was viewed as an old race car. Where's the roll bar? I asked.

In one of my many books there's a pic from the old Daytona Beach races where the photographer caught the driver popping out the door mid roll...................at that moment the door was the top of the car.
