roll cage question?

[dbmx66]

hey guys, were putting in a 12 point rollcage but the only problem is that the two tubes that are supposed through the rear of the cab and bed then connect to frame. the only problem is what will i do for glass? because lexan isnt street legal. any tips or anything the may help me out? thanks, david

Go thru the steel above the back window.

You'll just have to get a glass shop to cut out the holes in the glass where those tube go through and put a seal them. I guess you'll need the rollcage in the cab first so you can get a measurement of where they need to cut the glass, then weld it together from the inside.

I don't understand why even putting a rollcage in a street car/truck anyway

Since the rear is flat you can have a back glass custom made. Make a template with the cut out you need and take it to a glass shop. They can cut flat glass and have it tempered. The rear doesn't require laminated glass, just tempered.

no pics at the moment. its fully gutted out. nothing but a rolling chassis and cab.

our plans changed with the motor

its going to be strictly a race truck.

aluminum interior panels.

race motor. 12.5:1 compression

lots more about motor, just ask anything you want to know.

currently working on the rear axle setup.

either throwing in a narrowed 9 inch or a dana 60 out of an old super gas chevelle

lots more info about the truck in general, so just ask if you would like to know something.
