It looks like it's coming along well. Are you mixing 1.750" and 1.625" to build that cage?
You can't get the bars as close to the roof with it on the car. Plus all the cuts are hidden by plastic panels on these cars. I already had the glass out because the car needs body work and paint. The down bars to the torque box and subframes are smaller tubes than the main cage.

Thanks, we got the cage painted and are ready to weld the roof back on. I also sold the 94 racestars and have a set of 92's on the way. Going to try to shoe horn a M/T 29.5x10.5 in the back.

Just have to be patient and line everything back up. On sn95 all the cuts are covered by plastic panels inside and out. So when done no one will know it was removed.
