looks good man. i like i like. just lose the green pinstripe. go over that w/ a color that will transition better or go with hockey stripes or something. wrong color for the two tone.

i'll give u credit on the two tone though......it's extremely hard to nail it w/ the difficult contour of our cars.

That's a great modification. Did you have to buy and bend new tubing, or did you just change the orientation?

That cage turned out really nice. I have been on the fence awile on getting one. Looks like Wolfe is the way to go. How tall are you? My only concern is wacking my head on the loop. I am 6'4" just worndering if any of you cage car guys have any head room issues?

I am 6"4 260 and i have yet to hit my head on the top of my Wolfe roll bar.
I just put the seat all the way down and even with the bar behind the seat I still have enough room so my knees dont hit the dash.

Guys,
with the wolfe cage, it looks as if the people that sit in the back seat would hit there head on the bar. Is that true?
