Plexi roll cage..... pics.
Sunday, May 23, 2010 11:58 AM
i wanted something to hold my seat belts up so they didnt fall down to the ground. so plexi acrylic rod was the answer. Its not completed still some tricks up the sleeve to complete them. I made some fiberglass pods to hold the plexi in place. and used stainless screws and counter sunk them to mount the pods. heres a pic.

also the bar will have a orange l.e.d. in each side to light the bar up

FAR from a roll cage, but a neat idea. While I cannot stand the over all style, as long as you do, good for you, the car is full of original ideas and you have put a ton of work into it! Good to see another fairly original idea going into it.

not sure how deep those "pods" are but if they're not that deep and if the belts are put under too much pressure......

very neat idea (aesthetically speaking of course)

Maybe a bar with raised tubes that follow the contour of the seats. That would be pretty damned cool looking, especially lit. Obviously none of this is for real safety, but it would look tits.

Trailered or not, it doesn't fit my taste. I was pretty decent in how I worded it lol.

I dont know why, but it reminds me of the handicap plexiglass handles you see on bathtubs...

I think it looks good, maybe the lights will help it more.

ok what do you guys think if i painted the bezel around the radio, the peices on the end of the plexi, center console, and speaker pods with a satin black finish. and do a little texture to make it a factory look a like finish. Im thinking of doing this to just give the interior a contract between color and material?

this is what im talking about, with the addition of a similar ^^^ cross bar to finish the A. while it may not be a full cage, its def more than just a bar.

nah it's still just a 4 point roll bar.





Check out my build thread!

Seamless,

If you put a texture on the console/bezel it will throw the look of the car off to me. If contrast is what you want then that is the way to go. If you want to stay "seamless" mold them all together and smooth them out.

Your call.
