Glad you are adding a cage, a car with this much power and traction at the rear wheels would need some reinforcing.

A few bolt-in street roll cage choices for you: 4-point: 6-point:

I think they are from this.

Thanks Scott. I have zero soldering skills so I've had to learn to work with plastic. You got that.

Maybe something like this that I built for my '70 'Cuda T/A?

Thanks Dann. The cage does follow the A and C pillars nicely and hugs the roof - just the way I like it!

It could be worse. Imagine scratch building this Maserati Bird Cage chassis from styrene rod as my friend Harold Bradford of HRM did!

A Body--1960-1976: Plymouth: Valiant (all), Barracuda ('64-'69), Duster ('70-'76), Scamp ('71-'76) Dodge: Lancer ('61-'62), Dart ('63-'76), Demon ('71-'72), Dart Sport ('73-'76) Wheelbases: 106: '63-'66 Valiant; '64-'66 Barracuda; '63-'66 Dart wagons 106.5: '60-'62 Valiant; '61-'62 Lancer 108: '67-'73 Valiant; '67-'69 Barracuda; '70-'76 Duster; '71-'72 Demon; '73-'76 Dart Sport 111: '71-'76 Scamp; '74-'76 Valiant; '63-'76 Dart (ex. wagons); Canadian Valiant (Dart front clip, Valiant body, 111" wb)

Thanks Kurt. There is a lot that could be added in the front "boot" but I'm trying to limit the scope of the build - at least a little.

Interesting, it appears RUF did CTR conversions on 964s as well. https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0116-230114/1992-porsche-964-ruf-ctr/

Thanks Trevor. Thanks Bruce.

The kit includes a beautiful set of BBS wheels. I'll be following.

I like your choice of wire wheels Scott with the Michelin tires. Just as information HRM offers a very nice set of wire wheels and period Dunlop tires.

Not difficult to modify a 289 to represent the 260. The Trumpeter Falcon includes a 260 (I believe) with a generator, in lieu of an alternator.

A much nicer example of the Ford 289 can be found in any version of the Revell '65-66 Mustang or Shelby GT350 kits - that what I use in my Cobra builds. The AMT '67 Mustang and Shelby GT350 kits also have a nice 289.

That's the AMT kit, looks like the first edition Trophy series release.

Are the cars painted anymore or do they all get wrapped?

Impressive work.

Very nice Alexandr
