Jason B - the car is beautiful. It wouldn't mind seeing a couple hundred more pictures! What is the diameter of the tubing, 1.5?

Jason J - you can have a custom cage built to similar specs to 968TRS. It will be easier than trying to find a prebuilt cage anywhere close to that. That is what I did. Mine is a close facsimile but I'm missing the extra bracing which links the suspension points.

Yes sir Eric, 1.5"

Ok...so how many people missed the Shelby GT 500 in the background...C'Mon now!!!

Jon Moeller

Ski,
I definitely didn't miss that one. We definitely need some more info on that car, too.

Thanks, again, Jason. You've given me a ton of things to think about for my new rollbar.

And a convertable at that, another ultra rare car. I knew I liked Jason for some reason.

Ski

I agree David. Now, when I get back down to Corpus I hope I get a chance to drive ONE of the TWO that are back there; 1 soft top and 1 hard top.

Jason @ Paragon Products

Hee hee, I wondered if someone would catch that. At 73 and sunny today in Corpus it would be a great day to get it out. I have a 67 GT500 as well that's undergoing a pretty complete restoration right now...should be ready by December. Both Dad and 2 yr. old Perry are ready to take it for a spin. 428, .030 over, 10.5-1, pretty healthy cam and a good bit of carburetion... should make some good power.

Damn!!! Just for that, you should give everyone 10% off of Paragon!

That is a motor. Get some pics of the car itself, I would love to see it. Actually, when it is done, side-by-side with the 968TS would be awesome.

Jason @ Paragon Products

Hey, after what this is costing, I may need to RAISE prices by 10%....LOL. The 67 is pretty sad looking right now...no windows, sanded down etc. I'll post a pic of the 68 shortly.

Jason Judd

All this talk has led me to believe that a custom cage is probably the best solution, with not much additional cost compared to a bolt-in brand.

I'll be looking around at builders and get something done over the winter...Sounds like $2K to get the job done correctly.

Mike Buck

Jason,
You have reached the right conclusion as far as cages go. If you are looking for ideas I can send pictures of the custom cage Mitch Piper www.pipermotorsports.com built for me. I couldn't be more happy

Jason @ Paragon Products

Jason, Mike isn't that far from you...may be worth the drive to let someone that's already done a 944 tackle your cage.

Jason Judd

Mike,

That would be really great! I'm contacting Mitch. If you could pull up any photos to help I would appreciate it!

Did you consider the Sparco seat that has head protection, like the Recarro?
