Tube bars out to front frame on a mopar?

[Tom Goldman]

On Mopars ,AMC's and Fords It is somewhat easier to do it with two separate tubes to the shock tower ,although I have not had any issues with doing it the way you are describing. .....I've done a few AMC'S that way.
The fragility of A body Mopar's in particular is one reason the change was made to allow the front bars , although more for the protection of the driver .
I've had to straighten a few frames on cars that were bent from wheelstands before doing a new cage and front bars

When I built my 74 Cuda, I run bars thru the firewall. They went over the shock tower, then turned down to the front sub. Made a plate to weld over the firewall hole and then weld the shock tower to the front bar. We also weld the main hoop to the door post, close as I could get to the latch assembly. After some friends drove the car, they both made comments, about how solid it felt. I drove a buddies SS/JA 68 Dart and had a blast doing so but, I understood what they were telling me afterwards.

Exactly why I'm doing this, designed to be driven on a flat road, no wheel stands and twisting, thin metal attached whith a few spot welds. Thanks

I'm planing a knee bar to tie into the door pillars too then off that to the front frame. Thanks for the help and suggestions everyone.
