Building an NHRA certified 12-point roll cage with EWS mild-steel tubing

Roll cages work in a variety of car configurations, and play a large roll in a vehicles overall ET. All roll cages require different elements to the cage’s design depending on the type of car. This 1972 Vega had poor modifications done previously  – so all was removed.

This new custom rollbar and roll cage is made with EWS 1 5/8 in. x 0.134 in. wall mild-steel tubing.
