like it says i'm puttin in the mm 6pt cage this weekend and while i'm there i plan on welding up some of the body seams. i'll prolly focus more on the trunk/shock tower area. does anyone have any suggestions as to any other problem areas that should be welded up as well.

4pts are cool but unless you get at least a 6 pointer its kinda useless for track duty as the frist time the NHRA requires a cage is if you run below 11.99. As soon as you get below that then you need a 6 pointer.

Just some food for thought for ya if you're seriously considering a cage

well, the 4 point is for safety reasons... i'd just get a lightbar otherwise b/c they rock

besides, the stang is my DD so i don't want a harder time getting in with the 6 point rollbar, since they have the door braces correct


bimmertech: so, what are these unusual plans? or is it a secret

you can get a 6pt with a swing out bar for daily driving. just put it back in when you go to the track, the mm 6pt with swing out bars is nhra legal. no secrets here just working on an under car difuser since i'll be puttin a cell in the trunk(welding plate between trunk and inside) i took some measurements and have already been working on a carboard mold which i hope can turn into fiberglass, maybe mold it into the rear bumper.

bars are just primered, ran out of gas on the last pad have to finish it tuesday, fit was good. haven't decided if i am going to put carpet or any trim back in it. took about 5 hours with the interior already removed. prepping took the longest as there is alot of tar paper and body puddy you have to remove to make a clean weld.

Looks real good man.
Not too bad of an install?
How does the door bar rotate out? Looks like it is just slid into the floor mount and needs to be pinned.
