Cage pics?

[LUCAFU1]

Im looking for some caged classic mustangs. I hope to be running sub 9.99 and I wanna see some cages. I dont know of any company that makes a cage for my 66 so Im sure it will have to be a custom job. Any pics or info would be appreciated.

Competition Engineering makes kits.

Lots of work required to make them fit nicely.

67coupe, where does the rear bar that goes out back by the rear window mount? Nevermind I just saw the picture of your trunk in the other thread. Thanks anyways.

Just remember, it takes alot more than just a cage to run 9.99 and quicker....
certified chassis, chute, competition license, etc...

67coupe, you DO know that side bar wont be legal on the strip, right?

Nothing beats a custom cage, mine tucks up so tight in the car that you really dont see it from the side, except the main hoop, which will be behind the 1/4 window chrome, and the bars going into the trunk..

you can barely see the roof bars, and only see the bar comming down the A-pillar on the passenger side because of the angle..

naw, mine is a "R" Model but the a-hole that painted it smoothed the welds so add it to the list of why it wont pass tech now

Yes I pretty much know most of the stuff I need, I still need to by the book to make sure I have everything. Cage is the first thing though.
I thought you dont need a chute till you trap at 150. I know the 135mph rule that says you need to be in compliance w/ 9.99.

BTW what did you do to the rear? Those fattys look so good tucked

Need the chute at 9.99, no matter what the mph

Rear is narrowed a bit... ok, alot.. wheel well openings were lengthened about 4 in. too..

will you be racing at a nhra or ihra track? you don't need a chute until 150mph for ihra.
