I had bought the kit from S&W for a 65-66 Dart.I only had to trim the ends of a couple bars,fit was all good.I feel I saved some cash doing it myself versus paying over $1000 to have it done.:read2:
Do you have a bender? If not by the time you buy a bender/degree wheel and 1 set of dies http://www.jd2.com/shop/custom.aspx?recid=1 you will be close to $800(this was the first hit on google). Add to that the price of the tube, my car took 120' of it, and the fab guy had zero waste, and you will probably be real close to $1100-$1200. It did not pay to do it myself.....I do not know what I actually paid for just the cage, I was quoted a price on the whole thing, 3k for cage/min tub/spring relocate and motor plate/mid plate set up. Only stuff I supplied was the spring relocation kit and swing out stuff for side rails. In this price also was the rear firewall, harness mounts and window net mount.
I will. It will have everything from the subframe connectors, roll cage, all aluminum intrior trim panels, 5.7 hemi motor mounts (on a /6 K member), custom built headers, and exhaust. Modified 5.7 truck wireing harness, nitrous install, home built spring relocation kit, complete new brake system, front end rebuild. (painted and bushings installed) That is just the begining. All that has to be done before it cools off here in AZ and its good racing weather. Then next summer it will be fiberglass front end, body work and paint. (paint will have a custom true fire paint job) Then its on to building a new motor. I'm looking at a 329ci, 5.7 baised stroker with 09+ closed chamer heads, nitrous cam and a 12.5:1 compression ratio, and upping the nitrous to a 400 shot. If that does not get me to stain my shorts nothing will. I'm hopeing that it will make over 600 flywheel HP. (before nitrous) The current motor going in is a stock bottom end 5.7 hemi, with Inertia Motorsports ported and polished heads and spartan cam. with a 150 shot. (my guess is about 600 flywheel HP on nitrous)
