Yeah, I certainly will not be welding all of this in by any means, I'm just the type of person that wants to know ALL my options before I do something, that way I know I did it the right way, and my way.

http://web.inetba.com/autoweld/images/toms8.jpg can't say i've seen one of them before. I am gonna be in the same spot in a few months. I am building the lightest drag car I can find, (fox Mustang of course) and the second thing is gonna be some nice fabrication to keep the U-body in tact

If the car is going to see any street miles. I like to avoid running the rear bars all the way to the back of the trunk/hatch. This removes the crush zone in the unlikely event of being rear ended.

I hear ya on learnging everything you can before you do it. That is the way to go.

If you were to be rear ended with the rear bars installed you will do more damage to the F&#$er who hit ya lolbut probably hurt yourself some more to do to no absorbtion of the impact.
