saw this, too..... not sure why, just for added strength on the main loop, or a substitution (of sorts) for a funny car cage loop added to it????



oops, didn't save the pic...but what it showed was an added bar from the door bar to the halo hoop.....

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....
