    This may sound like a silly question to most of you, but does the Maverick/Comet have a full frame or a Unibody? What do most of the drag race guys out there do to stiffen up the frames without adding a roll cage. Also where could I get some reliable specs on track width and wheelbase and such?

    unibody.

    frame connectors that tie the front & rear subframes together.

    try a search for the specs on this board.

    welcome to the board. like dave said. frame connectors. weld in ones work the best. one of the guys on here sells some i believe. i got mine from summit racing. when i put my frame connectors and roll bar in we noticed the tranny tunnel starting to buckle so they are definitely needed if your going to put it to some abuse. :Welcome:
