Lets talk Roll Cages

My 72 is going to go something to the tune of 11.80's and perhaps low 11's on the bottle. She wont be done here for another couple of months (money permitting) due to a major brake upgrade, a 4 link that im going to build on my own, and a few other safety items.

Due to pressure from my parents and it just being a plain good idea in a street driven vehicle with this much power, I want to cage it.

A good friend of mine recently caged his TJ with a bender than he bought. I have access to industrial welders and the necessary equipment thanks to my fathers company having a machine shop, and with his help, we are going to do this ourselves to NHRA spec using DOM or Schedule 40.

I would love to hear from anyone who has caged a 67-72 cab; what issues you ran into, any advice you can provide- and detailed pictures would be great (frame mounting location, ect). If anyone has tech specs such as rear hoop and front corner radius' that would be even better.

Thanks
