Since your in LBC, I'd try Maximum Motorsports in San Luis Obispo...They're kinda close, right?...
They sell NHRA 6 points and full length subs...As far as your torque boxes, I don't think I would install plates...It's not nesessary the torque boxes that brake, but the shity factory spot welds holding them together...It would be a good idea to have an experienced Mustang shop weld up your torque boxes as well as welding up your subs...

How fast do you plan on going with this car?? DO you want a 6, 8 or 10 pt cage????Wolfe if you got the money, if you want cheap, I would say a Chris Alston Chassisworks cage kit if you want a 10 or 8 pt and have someone weld it up or Maximum Motosports for a 6 pt.

well, i'm only play with stock shortblocks so low 10's maybe once i bolt up my procharger do you have a website for chris alston chassiswork ? i'm on a budget so cheaper is ideal but i need quality thanks for all your guys help san luis obisbo is 200miles for my house. i might just have to visit my grandma sooner than i thought..she lives there. i got $600 for the roll bars,sub frames,and battle box plates.that money is gonna have to stretch out for labor n'shit. any one have the jegs roll bars in there fox? they seem cheap and meet track requirments. around $200+shiping

You better have a friend who is willing to weld for some beer if that is your budget.

if u are on a budget for the rollbar
u cant beat maximum motorsport stuff
the bar might be 350 for a standar or 400 with swingouts, but it will only cost about $40 to have the back 2 tubes welded
shit if u lived in the bay area i would weld those two tubes for free
all the rest of the bars come pre welded, and its just a bolt in cage, and nhra legal
if u buy the jegs bar, its 200, then it will cost atleast another 400-500 to have it welded in by a pro
bring the car to the bay area, big boy racing does subframes installed for 170, u cant beat that anywhere including the gas $$ for full length welded sub frame connectors
and big boy racing is also decently priced for the torque boxes
and if u come up to the bay i will just weld those 2 bars on the MM cage for free, crap sheldon from big boy would probably do it for free to since it takes all of 5 minutes

wow thank for the gesture but not only the bay area is quiet a long distance but i don't think my car can make it there without over heating after driving 200 miles.thanks though your right.i'll probably go max motorsports.

Call B&D racing they're in Canoga Park. I think XMP would be too much for what you want.
