FINALLY! 6-point cage is a part of the Fox!

[Fox Body]

1969Mach1,
I was planning on getting a $2-3k paint job on mine, but then I started thinking about it. I don't know if I want to put that much into it if someone can just walk up next to it and key it. So I decided to do the body work myself and get a $500-$800 dollar paint job. Plus, I don't have a garage, so it'd always be exposed to the elements.

mustanggt350,
Why does your friend want the cage? The reason I ask is that I am not so sure the one you are talking about is NHRA legal. I could be wrong, but I believe that that side bar (diagonal) that goes in front of the door has to pass somewhere b/t your shoulder and elbow. The one you are talking about (if we're talking about the same bar) runs along the floor (horizontally). I would figure that if your friend wanted a roll cage, he'd want one that he could actually use at the track at events. ANYWAY, I know you didn't ask all that.

Mine is from S&W Race Cars . It cost me $150. It looks awesome in the car. LOVE IT. They actually sell the 8-point cage for $150 (good price), don't think they sell a 6-point cage, but all you would do is leave out the 2 crossbars. The picture that is shown on the website doesn't quite look like the actual one, but it's close (IMO, the actual one looks better).

PKRWUD,
I appreciate the advice. I'm willing to try this. But one other Q: would this not hurt the paint that I put on the bars? And will the padding slide around b/c of the slick surface or would underneath the padding get all moldy? Thanks
