After building a couple Vic's the last few years and completely changing the way we build the cages, I got to wondering. Is there a better way to do a Mopar cage? When we do our cages now, we pull the doors, cut the pillar and doors, then weld the door to the body. Would this be beneficial on a Mopar, or would it be detrimental due to the lack of an actual frame?

I put mine on the inside of cab weld to post doors That's how we used to do it as well until we were shown the other way, but I've been told it only works on full frame cars. I wasn't sure if anyone did it that way on Mopars or not.

we-crash.proboards.com/thread/70613/74-shocker-build-thread Both links are my build threads with cages in doors I do my mini car same way it's no so much for strength it's more for cars to be roomy. I don't want to rack ribs on cage. Nor do I want to run padding on cage so I don't hit it so I like it in the doors. I do believe that all cars not just unibody or full frame need the cage tied into bodys. Never had a cage shift but have bent more cage side bars more with it in my doors since it's right against the outer skins.
