For a 3-4K lbs car 1.75 120 wall BAR seems to suffice until your get real serious.

Any reason I should rethink this and go full cage? I would like to be able to drive the car without a helmet on the street and not constantly be worrying about hitting my melon on the front hoop

Unlike GW I'm a Sasquatch at 6'4" so head room is always a premium. Hitting my head so often is probably the cause of the brain damage that is drving me to spend so much $$$ on an old Ford
First off you need to ask yourself, "What will I be doing with my car?" If you are like alot of us you will start out with a few track days.......then the addiction hits . It's probably worse than nicotine and heroin combined. You wont be able to get enough. Your bank account begins to dwindle. Your family will approach you and tell you to get professional help. You cant hear them and the faster you get the more you want.
Put the cage in my friend....if you dont now you'll wish you did later
