Correct, I am aware of frame difference but curious to know the width where sat on the floor, my hope was if it was over the ole wide-track perimeter frame but maybe not. May seem dumb but I was hoping I can have the plate weld to floor above the frame where I could drill four holes thru said plate and have a section of large angle stock it could bolt to underneath and then side bolt to the outer face of the frame vertically, on the main hoop. Just looking for a legal 7.0 index car but it will take some time, my current bracket class is 7.25+ slower and haven't been bothered running 7.2 or 7.3 or 7.4 over the last few years but needs to be right.

I'd say it would be closer to the frame on the Pontiac. Using plates would be good enough, if it is close to frame could tie it in also. (for your times listed)

I have no idea if you have any oval track racers in your area, but they should be able to possibly point you in the direction of someone that bends roll cages and fabs them near you. A plus is it's, now the off season for racing. typically, slower than during the race season.

Since oval track cars have a much more extensive cage, usually there is someone that builds and repairs crash damaged cars locally. They'll have tubing sticks, and some type of a bender to make just what you're looking for to fit your application.

If you order a kit hoping it will fit, then decide it won't work, there's a lot of freight invested. Finding someone to fab a set of bars locally could save you a bunch of aggravation............

Link to chassis shops in Dallas, maybe this helps, maybe not????

Good luck in whatever you decide.........
