Found Some Pics Of A SCCA Car I Did In '98

admin

Dug out some pics i thought i had lost..i did the cage and the swing out for the door..this thing had tubing in it everywhere!!but it was a safe car for sure..In '99 They entered it in the Mt Washington hill climb..was going good untill the driver went off course..and down into a 400 foot ravine head over heals..the only thing left that was any good was the rear deck..it flew off..i never got to see the aftermath but the driver walked away with 2 fractured ribs..from what i was told even the floor was buckled here and there..engine..tranny was ripped out and everything..but it was nice to hear the 'cage held up just fine..the owner of the car was Craig Ludwig..of the Ludwig drum co..glad no one was hurt.....zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.

Reply:I just finished my cage, similar to that one.   By the time you get near the end theirs so many bars all over the place its hard to climb in and out to weld them, especially in the back section.
