I picked up a Notch, and looking for some photos on how you have the cages, funny car cage, front bars, etc. It has a 10 point and ladder bars, and will be going to a 14 point. I want to do all the bars before it goes through body and paint. I know there is a million ways to do it, just need to get some pics of how you have yours. Also some pics of aluminium dashes. The car will be mid 9's someday. Thanks, Matt

I just did a 14 pt cage in my 67 Barracuda notch back was pleased with the results although if I did it again I would lower the drivers side bar, after racing for 6 years I have seen cars few and far between that have their side bar "at a point midway between the drivers elbow and shoulder." Good luck, and good choice of cars

Hey, Matt, that's a nice looking shop. I remember you were building that for awhile.

Buy some 1/2 tubing and build the cage you want it then take the pipe over to Toms and have him bend the bars for you that why it should fit the way you like not a kit that fitts ever car I would also make it out of CM tubing .Nice looking car Matt what are you going to uses for a motor

front bars



i'm looking hard at this pic & trying to see how the bar goes thru the firewall & hooks up to the main cage. you got any other pics that show this connection?

I forget what size tubs but the tires I have on there now are 33x 18.50 Hoosiers QTP and I also had some Mickey Thompsons street tires before 33x21.50.
