Chassis stiffening...a "different" approach? Options

[Mueller]

I'm not sure how strong the front hinges are on our doors, but I think a cam-lock device once the doors are closed would immensely stiffen the car, this would be ideal for those that do not want a cage.

Torsion/twisting would still occur, but this would be a good compromise IMHO....

The biggest hurdle would be designing the lock that would easily unlock from the outside if one was involved in a wreck.

The convertible Mercedes supposedly have a very strong locking mechanism that "ties" the car together once the doors are shut.

One of the BBS members drove up on Friday night from LA and drove back Saturday night.

Brad uses the term "one day" loosely. My cage was mostly built in the wee hours of the night. I think Tony started at like 6pm. The car was already pretty gutted beforehand.

There are also different options for the side/door bars. I got the "high X" version because my car is heavily track oriented and I am not a really big guy so I can get in and out easily. The one in the above pic is a low/street "L" version. I think they also do a "low X" one as well.
