Roll Cage Question

At a minimum, you should have the existing bolt-in cage welded in, at least at the plate to the body mounts. I am sure you have seen the videos of bolt in cages going through the floor pan of the car. Welding the plates in place will help prevent this from occurring. Just my two cents...

Kent does great cages.

Not to mention the chassis stiffnes you get when its welded in to strut/fender towers ect...

Thanks for all the great and sound advice. I went ahead and made the purchase. The price was so good even if I have to have a new cage fabricated I'll still be ahead. Plan to have it looked over and upgraded as needed before the June event.

Thanks again, you guys are great!!!
