Ain't you too old to be drivin' stuff that requires that level of armour?

Guess you will be using a BBC in that.

Not me!!!! Just looking at some of the newer cages and frame designs. Got to put a 6 pt. bar in the 'maro and the Bronco II and Ranchero will both be getting 12 pt. cages.....

A BBC????? not in this lifetime!!!!! Really want to do up a 4.6 modular and 5 speed for the Bronco II....though I'll probably chicken out and go with an EFI Windsor with a 5 or 6 speed.

And of course the Ranchero is still destined to recive one of those absolutely awesome BIG BBF's, either an 806 or an 813....

Not a whole lot of chebbies in my future---unless I end up finishing the 'maro before I sell it, then I'll probably just have Pat do me up a 496 or something.....rather just sell it as a roller though....

Dave, that's a fine lookin' 8.50 cage. I like the door bar treatment and also the sill bar on the passenger side at the floor.

It needs more bars to qualify as a 7.50 cage though. That may have been where you saw on the other car with a funny cage addition to the peripheral cage. The 8.50 cage can be built right out of the rulebook. The 7.50 cage is built to SFI 25.5 specs (stock frame/unibody car) and the specs are available here....
