    Picked my Maverick last Friday from Precision Chassis Inc. where I had the sub-frame connectors welded in and an 8pt roll bar bent and installed...what a difference! I thought I had a solid car before, but this thing is a rock!

    Looks great! Did they bend the tubes or is it a kit?

    Looks really SOLID !! Makes quite a difference in handling doesn't it ?! .. I have a box of padded " Black Covers" with adhesive inner areas that fit over the pipe and are about 48" inches long that can be cut and fitted to any area of the
    cage if you're interested . Lemmeno if you want the name of the manufacturer and I'll get it to you. Nice Looking Job!!

    It was custom bent...

    Thanks fellas, this is prep for a new motor coming home in a couple of weeks

    The difference in handling is night and day for the stock suspension...I will need to use something between the seat backs and the bar after I get it painted

    Very nice. What sub frame connectors did you go with?

    Thanks Ryan, SFC's were bolt in Alston racing that I installed over the winter. While at PCI I had them notch the top of the connectors for the Ebrake cable to pass over the top instead of below and then had them welded

    Thanks Bob, the gents at PCI did a great job, and put up with me stopping by everyday to check on my baby
