Default Pics of Formula's 10 pt, parachute and interior

Thanks again to Neil @ Possessed Fabrication for redoing my 10 pt cage, installing the Wolfe parachute setup, and other chassis work... He also was able to get my car certed to 8.50 and slower. Pics:

Wow, car looks great!
I notice the extra bracing running along inside the doorsills, is that because you don't have subframes or just extra support?

I do in fact have subframes, maybe Neil added those bars if they are needed for a 25.5? The carpet is lightweight molded carpet, got it from Speed Inc. ages ago not sure if they still sell it.

What is that the arrow is pointing to?

Call me crazy...but if thats a front plate holder... if you get pulled over by a cop, i think not having a front plate is the last of your worries...lol
