Default GM "A" Body TigerCage
Being an "A" Body enthusiast myself I have been begging for a TigerCage for our cars. Well we are just finishing up development on a bolt in roll cage for Bret's 70 GSX. I have had several requests for a TigerCage for the A bodies, so I thought you guys would like to see some pics of the prototype cage. This TigerCage should fit all 68-72 GM A bodies. But just to be sure I am going to install one on my personal 70 Chevelle.... I'll post up some install pics on my car.

Our 66 Chevelle is next!

Road Race Style Door Bars


Main Hoop & Shoulder Harness Bar


Door Bar Kick Panel Mount


Package Tray Bar


Trunk Bars

Here are some images of the brackets that we use to attach the bars to the floor pan and frame rail. On the production parts all of the brackets inside the car will be stainless though.

That looks awesome. Any chance you could make one for a '78 El Camino for me.
