    Hi there!
    I hope I am in the right place to be asking this but here goes anyways.
    I have a 72 Chevelle in the restoration process going on for 8-9 years now unfortunately due 2 not using credit cards haha. I’ve done a lot of research and come to the senses that I should start with getting the level 2 coil over system for the chevelle. My problem is what to do with my frame now. I want to keep the car lightweight and still have the structural strength when it comes to doing some autocross/road racing. I saw the Tiger Cage and read that it increases the chassis strength and then theres the guys that have a reinforcement kit they weld into their frame. So my question to you is, would I need both the cage and reinforcement kit or could i just go with one of them? Also, is there a list of things you would do to a stock frame with or with out a reinforcement kit? I’m new to all of this pro touring stuff and not real sure what would be the ideal thing to do to ensure long reliability and great strength for my frame. Just to give you an idea of what I want, its going to be a street machine but I also want to beat the crap out of it.
    Thank you for your time and have a great week!!

      Drew, We do not see the welding / boxing of the frame to be necessary. Our 66 Chevelle A body has been continuously beat on since we took it out to Bonneville on its maiden voyage in 2008. The car is equipped with our level 3 air suspension kit and TigerCage. The car is so reliable that Greg just drove it from Indy to Texas, Competed in the USCA race at Texas Motor Speedway, And drove it all the way home. Can’t beat rental car reliability!

    haha I like your comment on rental car reliability. I wish i could have seen that chevelle in Dfw since i live in addison currently. Anyways its good to hear that I can bolt in a 95 lb cage and have the structural rigidity with no worries versus welding on a nicely blasted and painted frame . Thank you for responding back to my questions, clearing a few things up for me, and I look forward to doing business with you guys. Thanks and have a great weekend!!!
