I have used 1/8" steel plate to reinforce the boxes on my last mustang. Plan to do the same with my fox. Doesn't look as good as those pictured above but held sturdy for launches on slicks behind a supercharged motor
I have the wild rides box in my car and while it's ok, there are better options out there now.

"If" I were to build another car, wild rides parts would not be my go to. Not that they don't work, just no longer top of the line. Fwiw my car has been 1.19 60' on a 275 radial with the Sbox
I believe the kids are calling street cars "pro mods" these days... You are really dating yourself with the funny car referenceWait a minute... Are we building a funny car?
The purpose of the Wild Rides is replacement without having to destroy half the car to do it or measure your own angles with a chassis jig.
There are perhaps 6 people on this entire forum that could do a proper install of the ones T-Top listed. I've seen a couple hack jobs too. You know the ones... The wheels are straight but car isn't.
The top link maybe... Everything else. GTFO a here.

It's more like jig the car, plot the suspension down to the floor and verify point to point measurements, tack new parts, check geometry, take more point to point measurements, make bracing to hold everything square while you weld, weld, weld some more, keep welding, tie components to roll cage, un jig car and do wheelies...Dated or not, I've done a little bit of shade-tree wrenching... I gotta wonder what is actually required for the install on those. I have to imagine it's more than hold, turn your head, and zap.
