Roll Cage in an early A?

[mopowers]

How many of you early A guys have roll bars or cages in your cars? Who makes a good kit that's easy to install in an early A? Can you just retrofit a kit for a 67-76 car to fit an early A?
Thanks!

I just used a later a-body cage kit and fit just fine. It was a Jeg's kit.

Sweet, thats what I was looking for. So the main hoop wasn't too wide? Did you use a 8pt bar or a full cage? Thanks for the help

Main hoop was the right width, I went with the full cage.

Anyone use the Early A S&W 4 point product, if so how did it fit?

I used a 67-76 Competition Engineering cage in My 66 Dart drag car I had. The fit was real nice.

I measured one out and chassisworks said i would need a custom bend...

I bought the 8 point cage from S&W for $189,had to trim a couple bars.Other than that the fit was good,I,d recommend to anybody installing one in an Early-A.Old pic,have since painted with Por-15 and added a swing-out bar.

Wow you only paid $189 for a cage.... Have the prices gone up? I can't seem to find anything under a grand these days.
