Hey Phil,
Neat belly tank (actually, wing tank) but I
really liked your roll cage. i didn't know PCP
passed thech. Ha ha ha. Seriously, I'm mocking
mine up out of flex plastic oil well stuff
myself. One question though, your cage resembles
most I've seen in alatered dragsters, and the two
rear-most braces always come back forward like
yours do. I was thinking about making my two
rear braces go rearward towards the rear end of
the frame. It seems like that would result in a
better triangulation and more strength. Is there
a reason for those two to lean backwards like
they do?
BTW. I think your wing tank may be from an F-105
fighter plane.
