cage installed

well its not susp. or steering, but its more along the lines of the subframe connectors for chassis stiffening, so here it is.




its a pretty basic bolt-in kit designed for a notch mustang. the fit is "close enough" and it will serve its purpose. when i get a chance to revise it some, ill add longer door bars and maybe raise them some. iill probly redo the rear bars as well at some point, and extend them thru the package tray into the trunk and pick up the rear subframe rails back there someplace. the main hoop matches the contours of the pillars and roof well, if you dont mind massaging the floor to match the feet of the hoop.

That's the same cage I put into the first wife's '83.  I thought at one time though I'd "redesigned" the rear bars and they were available.

Just another one of those things that got lost after I left.

old habits die hard, its not a "cage" you are correct.
and no, not legal for anything. its a chassis stiffenin device only.

I drove down the "Alley" last Friday and the psuedo shop (Engineered Performance) is still there with a sign out front.  I didn't drive to the end of the building to see what was going on, but from a couple things I've seen, they're still selling "KB" parts, or at least parts from KB's old jigs and plans....
