Are you planning on doing it your self or having a
shop do it... if your doing it just get the spec sheet
for the cert... money well spent

---

I'm ordering it in the AM with my first cup of coffee

While I have very limited experience with a TIG, being a body guy by trade, it's obviously something I want to learn and I learn quick. I can plastic weld with my eyes closed, weld with a torch and filler rod so I just have to add the pedal. Maybe ill take up sewing too! Ill obviously practice with scrap first (been watching a guy on YB have a tough go with his moly welding skills) before I start welding bars in but yes ill do it all myself.

Its just practice... and watching your temp... if you
can do the other stuff you can tig... I done a fair
amount of chassis's(all moly) and its nothing trick
but a good machine sure helps

25.3 has a lot a bars for cars under 3600, which is not always easy with a B-Body!

I know!

I helped install a 25.3 cage in an 81 Camaro a few years back. Basically fitting and cutting while the owner welded. Then I did the body and paint. Now that I'm thinking of doing this myself, I remember all the new words I learned that winter. Those 81 camaros tho, the junk they are, have partial unibody, partial subframe construction which made certain aspects around the firewall, knee bar and D/S loop a total pain in the ass. I also recall the lower floor portion of the cage was installed inside the car rather than underneath. How clear does the spec sheet get regarding variables between body styles? I can see why now a certain specific vehicle like a mustang is so widely used.

Another word of advice...
Be careful of posting (SFI)copyrighted materials. You could have attorneys on your azz. I got busted(cease order) by a certain magazine even though I meant no harm... like you.

Moparpoor, are you making a sheet metal interior? Looks great BTW! Ill be keeping all of my factory Interior which I know will make my life that much more difficult bit I think adds alot more personality to the car. Thanks for the pics! Gives me a good idea of what I'm up against.

Now who else sells 25.x moly chassis kits? I've always worked with s&W but their 25.3 chassis kit only works for chargers and correct me if I'm wrong but coronets/satellites have a shorter wheelbase do they not? That's alot of bars needing work before they can be fitted. Any suggestions? The above pics of the 71 B body must've had issues too. I know the kit for the Camaro I did needed alot if modifying but I thought that was more because of the stupid stock subframe up front. [/quote
Its only going to be tin on the back half.We used the factory floors and firewall.This allows you to eliminate the use for all #4 and #8 bars.As for using prebent cages on anything than a A-body isn't going to happen!!I wouldn't use any prebent cage over 8 points period.Way to many variables to cause issues!.
