nice car, but i have to say those rear cage brackets look like they would just fold over or rip off the inner arch in a roll to me, i would want to box them up, strengthen the arch below them and tie them back to the shell, and maybe a brace between them

Yeah your right they probably would,but i dont plan on rolling it tbh and if i do i dont think i'd be worried about the rear arches ripping.The front and mid are plated and supported properly,i'd imagine they'd take the biggest beating in a roll. Like i mentioned before,should have done them properly at the time but i rushed it and fitted the brackets single handedly which was a challenge itself. Being a welder/fabricater,beleive me,i'm ashamed of them! Could be worse,could be a show cage!

up to you of course, but i wouldn't want to be relying on hoping it lands on the front if i did roll!!
