35 Ford Roll Cage
Want to install a roll cage in my 35 Ford 3 window. The car has a 4 link Chassis with independent front suspension, a narrowed 9 in with true trac rear, 13" disk brakes all around, 406 sbc with 577 flywheel HP (ran on a Stuska Dyno), car weighs 2400 lbs w/o driver and should run low 10's to high 9's. I really want to put a full cage in the car and am looking for advice on how to do it. How and where do I attach the bars to the frame? Given the location of the frame and the way the body with it's subrails mount to it, I am not sure how to do it.Do I weld gusseted mounting pads to the frame to locate the cage? Does anyone have advice or pictures on a late 30's Ford that you might have done? Thanks
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
