Show off your cages

Hope this is ok to post in this thread. I dont like starting new ones if it can be helped.
I am swapping a 5.7 into my 73 dart. I am gonna try to keep the pws gearbox and eventually have all the accessories.
Right now i cannot afford the Alterk setup, so I am gonna be forced to remove part of the inner wells/aprons. From What I have read this will weaken the front clip as rails are not supported vertally.

Can I just put in "snout bars"/"strut bars"/"shock tower brace bar" whatever it is called with without a full cage? Im talking the bent tube that runs from the frame, to the shocktower, then is mounted to a plated welded somewhere on the firewall...will this work or does it meet another part of a cage at the firewall?

I am trying to keep this a road trip comfortable car for me and the misses...will maybe see track 1 time a year if that. mostly just steet and road trips, not even a daily driver. thats what I have the new 09 charger MOPAR ALL THE WAY BABY!!
