thats what i will end up doing. my original thought on the autocad was to lay out the tank dimensions and the shape of it. that way when i call my local fab shop for the rolled tubes to build the cage out of, they can referance that...
i work in a dust collection manufacturing and fabrication shop. we have any type of fab tool imaginable accept a tubing roller! imagine that!
so as far as fabing up the car, that shouldnt be to big of a task, i also have 2 local guys heping me with the chassis and cage. they are NHRA top fuelly guys and both of them have been around this stuff a long time. so when it comes to the design of the cage, the tig weldes. thats all them. they are going to guide me in that direction.
as far as making everything fit, i have been reading several build threads and have gathered hundreds of photos and great ideas from guys.
im new the lakes racing part. i build hot rods as my name may show.. my driver is a McCulloch supercharged flathead model a ford, i also have a 34 ford lakes style car.
so the general gist of buiding a car is easy.
i appreciate all the help guys. once i get started ill be putting alot of photos up. thanks for all the guidance so far!
