Once the bars are all welded together the cage isn't coming out w/o being cut up anyways so you might as well weld the plate down too.

I know a weld in is the best way to go for weight and strength. I just didn't want to have to remove all of the carpet, padding, interior, dash, etc. to do welding and painting.
With a bolt-in kit I could check for fit and do the drilling and such, then paint it outside of the car and install it for good.
This is just the early stages of me trying to think this out, so I'm sure I'll change my mind in every direction several times. :)
I could really care less if it had a cage or not, just trying to have something in the car to be able to race it at the local tracks.

Your gonna have to remove it all anways to weld all the bars together. I know for a fact bolt together cages are not legal for any form of drag racing.

You're going to end up welding something in to be NHRA legal, might as well do it right. I had a custom one put in years ago to my specs and being NHRA legal down to 10.0. I painted it and was able to put in all panels and even the rear seats. I just cut out the side bar and am now adding a passenger side bar and swingouts on both sides. Taking the interior out and putting it back in is a weekend job at best.
Hey Steve I can cut the time down on taking the interior out. All out in 30 min or less or the work is free. Can't promise it will all go back in. ;)
