I did on an earlier cage in my car. Worked great.
Installed one on another early A-body.
Great if you do not have a bender. If you do a halo in the area of the package tray works nicer.

my x braces run to the frame rail between the rear down tube and the ladder bar crossmember, the rear down tubes carry the coil-over shock mounts.

Heres mine after I did my back half last winter, put the X bar in from the main hoop down to the frame right where the crossmember is and the down bars end up where the rear crossmember and shockmounts are,,hope they are seeable with my crappy camera at the time.

I personally never liked the "X" in the cage. Looks to NASCARish to me. We did mine a little different but with the same effect. My bars that go down thru the speaker tray go into the upper shock mount bar. Also was able to retain the back seat. Not that anyone will be sitting back there. I just hate the tin look of a race car interior.

I wouldnt do it like that... should have dropped the X on the shock cross bar or on the rails at the shock bar... the X is dropping out in the middle of a length
