DIY Roll Cage Fabrication Vintage PORSCHE 911 | Lessons Learned START To FINISH

Here's my first weld-in roll cage attempt for my Porsche 911. DIY roll cage fabrication is not for the faint of heart, which is why I started with electrical conduit and pool noodles! #fabrication #rollcage. You will need a good quality tubing bender such as the JD Squared in this video. No tubing was scrapped which is a miracle as a beginner.
This video is a complete guide showing the following steps start to finish.
a) Planning
b) Bending
c) Notching
d) Welding
e) Painting
f) Install
JD Squared Bender Used: amzn.to/2TY0gCD

Liking the idea of removable /bolted in side door bars.

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Yeah, the side bars can be removed in about 5 minutes or less. I went through a lot of extra work to make the bolted connections as rigid as possible. Not sure how much that increases the stiffness of the car or not.

Nice work!

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Thanks John😀

[@cybersurfer2010]

Well for a first time rol bar it looks pretty nice! Great work...

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Thanks, I kind of hid it in black paint, but It came out ok.

[@grantroberts4231]

these comprehensive project vids are cool. 🤘🏼 keep up the good work.

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Thanks Grant! This was meant for new subscribers, but I'm so glad you watched too!

[@fgjf1079]

Awesome, Tom! Odd to see the car in primer again...

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Weird huh,. Saturday's vid is about sanding again, ugh.

[@Albert87nl]

you sure gave me some good inspiration on the door bars! . and specific regulation rules you followed?

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Cool, check out FIA, NASA, and SCCA if you haven't already done so

[@wayne9518]

I’m not an expert but every track event tech inspection I’ve worked at the required distance was measured from the driver’s helmet. I know of taller drivers that removed seat bottom upholstery to meet that spec.

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Makes sense. I put the main hoop as far back as I could and lowered the seat to the floor. I should be ok.
