what's legal, what ain't?

2X3X.083 " will be adaquate. ....The 01 body makes it easy since it's nearly a straight run to the rear rails. ....Only a short area of the floor needs to be sliced. ...You must weld the floor to the rail.......You can parallel the rear rail and just put an access hole thru it for the spring bolt.

Thank you Mark.

I went back to the rulebook and couldn't find this. N/S and above are not required to have a bar or cage. With this implication, you couldn't tie the subframes of an N and up car. Does your V/SA Mustang have the frames tied? From the pictures, you don't have a bar in it.

Yes, and so did the N/SA Omega before it. Teched in by Travis at Indy in '04

Dwight, I can't find any place in the 2008 or 2009 rule book that says you can't have frame connectors without having a rollbar. Billy

Is that 67 a 232 2V ?

You might want to re-think that idea.
