Roll bar rules:

Cool.. another Mustang Hybrid..

Being a convertable you reailze that the 1 3/4 bar that you installed will only make the car legal by NHRA/IHRA to 11.49 ET.

You'd need a 10pt to get to 9.99 ET and a funny car cage to be legal to
7.49 ET.

That's the way I remember it... Please check the current rule book for the final word as they've made some changes..> I just remember them hitting the convertables hard for cage/bar rules.

Hate to have you go to the track and be scoffed off and not know it was coming.

~Scott

Hard top cars: Roll bar (9.99) 10pt cage (7.49) Funny car (4.99?)Never had to worry about that fast yet

 

[gnracer1]

ya is a street car and the local track dont give a flip about cages. i do have the parts to make it a 10 point but it would make it a pain in the butt to get in and out of

 

[gnracer1]

Here are some pictures of the roll cage painted with the same paint I painted the engine bay with.

 

[Raymond Bunch]

Wow, you sure are gettin it done I'm really starting to get the bug again, also I just located a notchback. It's in very good condition, only down fall is that it's a 4cyl:frown:

Keep the pics coming.....:smile:
