Idk if your planning on running a cage. But you can look into how they do the front bars on a 12 point because alot of thoes cars run without inner fender aprons and just using the front bars for support. So i say run a cage and you tie the front bars into the cage. Good luck and dont listen to some of these people you might have a not so good design now but least you asked.

I really appreciate ANY imput cause I'm new here.
He asked for "imput", not input. I guess I'm the only one that caught that. As in who will be the imp that's stupid enough to answer this question. I don't know about everyone else, but I don't like getting played for a jack-***. Romper room is down the street.

I'll have to agree with the others and say that I really think it would be much better with something else.

gconnsr I really didn't mean to get under your skin. I'm sorry I wrote "imput" instead of input, your right I should have proof read before I posted. So should I just pull what I have put in and install some full fender aprons. If I do this what can I do then to help with stiffness on the front end? I can't use a shock tower brace because I have no shock towers now? And I already have front to rear frame connectors installed.

This is what I used on my project. If you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to help.

Hey thanks I really like those insert. I wish I has seen those a long time ago! I might be able to use them with I already have.

I am using a Helix Mustang II kit.

Dude take a pill!..If you don't have any useful input don't say anything at all..Freaking out because the guy made a spelling mistake?

I agree with jp1967stang that a rollcage style front end would work nicely..
