Mike's Ocho Cuatro Bronco build aka White Lightning

[tcm glx]

I can only imagine Chris, but at least she is getting used, abused, and worked on.

Also I had to sleeve the A pillar to get the damn thing to fit in there (if you read this Party Barge, sorry, I know I am not good enough).

*edit* - damn - T quick on the draw & beat me to a post for the 2nd time in about 5 minutes!


Pics you blithering idiot who can't bend a tube right!










But at least actually builds things & drives them...

[only1mikey]

Once I post pics you will see how tight it really is in there. The tube was a little too tall so we cut it and sleeved it (middle-ish of the window) it's only bent in two places BUT it's a multi plane bend and I wasn't sure how to account for the lenght and exact degree of bend.

Pics of the actual cage may come after the weekends over, if I remember to take pictures.

Looks good!

No rear seat access? How close is that diagonal to your head?

[ChaseTruck754]

Rear seat access goes through the middle - below the /\.

What Steve said about the rear seat access. (I can fit though there just fine with both seats mounted and the stock center console in the way.

And as for head room. Not strapped in I have a fist full of head clearance (on all three tubes) with a helmet on that doesn't hardly fit on my head.

Rear seat access goes through the middle - below the /\.

Thanks for the clarification.

I posted them a few days ago. if you want installed pictures they you are going to have to wait till I actually get to that. Right now the holes are drilled for the top plates, that's it.

Smart ass... you must be from the DR hahaha (just kidding). yes, I was looking for the way you mounted them to the frame, so I will wait until you have actually done so.

Got quite a bit done on Monday, but took last night off to go karting with friends at MB2 in Sylmar. Took second in both heats.

Working on the cage tonight, should be finishing everything up. I'd like to do more but I have two other paying jobs sitting here that need my attention.

I'll try to remember to take pictures tonight.

Looking good Mike

[only1mikey]

Pics from 2:30 last night. Took me 6 days/nights (and one of those night I took the night off and went to MB2 Karting.











Still more to come but it's drivable again and I need to start on other peoples vehicles.

Hope you like it, if not I don't care
