Hi guys, Thanks for the input. I now about the cams issues with roll cages and after being quoted between $2500-$3500 to have a cams approved cage put in I thought I would get the alloy one to start with. It actually goes through the parcel shelf and mounts to the rear chassis rails. For club events it is perfect and legal and I would prefer to have it on those days than nothing at all.
I'm just building it as a fun club car. Was going to go all out with it but since I purchased it I bought a house, got married and had a daughter (and not in that order either) so the outlook changed according to the finances and the time. My wife is very supportive though as I told her when we met that the car is part of the deal. She even had the garage built for me/Escort as a present when we bought the house! So the money I was going to use on the car went into the garage, but at least it has somewhere to live now.
