If you’re turning your late model Ford Mustang into a dedicated track car, then a good roll cage or roll bar is probably on the menu.

Not only does a quality roll cage offer a critical bit of safety to your race car, it can also improve the chassis stiffness for overall better performance. But most importantly, depending on your sanctioning body and racing class, a good roll cage might be downright mandatory for track competition.

Designed to meet NHRA 8.50 ET safety specs, the cages are made with Docol R8 steel tubing that is stronger than 4130 chromoly steel and doesn’t warp or distort during fabrication and welding. The cages come pre-bent and notched, ready to prep for welding and installation.

Fat House includes step-by-step instructions if you’re handy with a welder–if not, Fat House strongly encourages you to farm out the job to a professional here.
