What were the reasons for going with stainless?

Any plans for convertibles

What were the reasons for going with stainless?

The main reason for using Stainless is because it looks cool. Strength is another added benefit. The 1 ¾” diameter .095 wall 304 stainless tube that we use is approximately 16% stronger than the same in 1020 steel. Also, stainless does not have to be coated, which will inevitably scratch either in shipping or installation. The cage that was installed in Velocity was scotch brited, which turned out really nice! Obviously using Stainless over mild steel will raise the cost, but I think that the added benefits will outweigh cost.

We paid special attention when determining the exact location of the mounts to ensure that they connect to structural strong points of the vehicle in the floorboard, A pillar, toeboard, rockerpanel, B pillar, package tray and framerail areas – avoids the need to permanently alter your musclecar with weld-in subframe connectors. In most places the fasteners pass through 2-3 layers of metal and attach in vetical and horizonal planes. There are also reinforcement plates on the bottom of the car. But the primary function of the TigerCage remains to be chassis stiffening. Any safety protection is strictly coincidental. NHRA & SCCA certifications are planned, but right now we are still too early in development. Keep in mind that these photos are prototypes, we are still tweaking a few parts. If you want any more photos let me know.
