Default 69 Chevelle SS...decisions

Hi all,

1st post here (sound of bell ringing).

I have a Non numbers matching 69SS. Car now has a 454 and made 600hp on the dyno with Oval port heads and a flat tappet cam (runs 11.30`s @ 120). It is a nice cruiser and looks day 2 if you can dig it (sorry, I just couldn;t resist).

I am in the midst of doing the body work and am at the following fork in the road. Do I:

A) put in an 8 point roll cage to keep it safe (I only go to the track 1-2 times a year)

B) no cage (and hope to keep it shiny side up) and just keep it as a hot day 2 street car.

Just thought I would ask you opinions.

I am going to paint it tuxedo black and may add the ss side stripe.

for those that are interested, it was built in Canada (Oshawa)and cam as follows:
front disks, buckets, Z25 SS trim, 396/350, M21, 3.55 posi, lemans blue with dark blue vinyl top, parchment interior, PS, PB.
