Tube Front ends! Post up different set-ups.
As the title says, post up some different pics of tube front ends, I am in the process of building an S14, ditched the Sr, and going with a V10, we already have the motor in and it's almost time for the tube front end and want to see what options are out there for the front.

Tube front ends.
Removable tube front ends also!
post up what you got, and maybe talk about the pros and cons of each setup if you happen to know them.
here are some I saw so far:


this seams to be removable?

HAHA, well, we are still working on the tranny tunnel and firewall, but motors in and done, I will do a build thread once the cage is being worked on,
and thats the reason for this thread to get some ideas for what style tube front best suits my build..

Horrible cell phone pictures. But a friend of mine and I built this yesterday. With removable bumper support. My original frame on the chassis was bent to all hell.

So what size tubing are you guys using for the main downtubes from strut to framerail? What about all the other sizes for support pieces, etc.? About how much of each are you using?

Also, what thickness (guage is it?), sheet metal are you using for mounting points?
