Roll Cage: Tacking it in

Posted by Tom Hampton , 02-09-2011 · 1,270 views

Well, itâ€™s superbowl sunday. Today it was time to actually start tacking parts into the car. First, the footings. Since these all contact the car, I needed to do final cleaning on the sheet metal that contacts the footing plates. This involved sanding the last bits of paint out of the way, scraping the last remnants of seam sealer from the joints, and finally cleaning the metal with acetone. The front footings are placed right against the joint between the firewall and the floorpan.
