now you're talking! Not only is the 5 point harness safe for your roll cage, but it looks badass as well

Hey, did you see my car over there? I picked it up on Friday, it was sitting next to yours. Looked pretty badass.

The paint on my SS is no where near as nice as it is on my v6, and the paint on yours is great. I am either going to go over mine or have Tyson detail it before I post anything on the car. Though he said he had taken several pictures and I'd love to see what he has of it. P.S. should have dropped off your magnaflow exhaust at PAF, I'd pick it up. Really just looking for the rear section but since there is a cutout there I'd take the whole thing.

Wouldn't be interested in a Loudmouth would ya?

I would have dropped it off had I known you were interested! I have an ORX with dynomax bullets dumped at the axle.... I love it!!!

Those pure stock rules are from 2004 when the NHRA roll bar rule was 11.99 and quicker for hardtops and 13.99 and quicker for convertibles. The current 2008 NHRA rule book doesn't even have a pure stock listing. I believe they deleted it when they changed the roll bar rules from 11.99/13.99 to 11.49/13.49.

I had to put one on for the local track. It doesn't get in the way at all.

Hey, your car is what inspired me to build my silly 10pt for my car.

Yours is definitely a classic on the forum!

Nice done E B Vert ! Beautiful.

I have been tentative about installing my wolf 6 point. ( been sitting wrapped in styro for over a year ).

I see from your photos plenty of head clearance both laterally and vertically and very little concern about head injuries. The increase in chassis rigidity and rollover safety far out weighs the potential for passive or minor head injuries. Agreed ?
