Hi all,
I'm intending to build a project car next season. I don't intend to have a shop do any of the work for me. I have the tools and means to do everything at my father's shop.
I know that the rules and regs give the specs for rollcages, but could I get some hints and tips from people that have done it before?
One of my questions is, does it matter what type of welding I use? Dad's shop has Mig and Arc. I was reading some discussion on welding at this forum and from what I gather, arc is easiest to learn and is perfectly acceptable for the thickness of steel used in a cage.
And for those of you thinking "this joker thinks he can just learn to weld by making a cage for a racecar? He's dead"... dad is the one with the expertise in welding and he'll be making sure its all good so I don't die.
