Default S&W 10 Point?
Anyone have pics of an S&W 10 point installed? Looking for pics of through the dash. Post up what you got. Also interested in any fitment issues if any?

If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself,
I have a guy I know who has a shop and builds cages...you might want to give him a call ? Does a lot of work...not some backyard builder.
Excellent work too.

I already have someone to do the final welding. I just want pictures of that particular bar installed. Looking for fitment to the A-Pillars, sail panels, routing of the rear bars, and most important how the dash fits with the bar and what needs to be modified to make it fit.....so pictures is all I am asking for....

This is the S & W cage in my Firebird Stocker. It has thru-the-floor frame connectors.


The dash bars fit decent. The cross bar was a tight fit behind the stock guages.

This is the same kit in my new Firebird. The dash bars didn't fit real well, so we had a local chassis shop bend new ones.

The carpet was made by ACC. I had a local trim shop order it without holes.

No, it is an option. Adds a bunch of rigidity. Note that I tied my rear bars into the spring mounts and the x-brace into the shock mounts. Works pretty good. Low 1.3 sixty foot times with only 400 rwhp.
