Default Cage install is done.
One less thing to finish before I can run it. Wanted to share the pictures.

looks great man! I like how the integrated the funny car top bars into the t-top area. Really give more head room for the taller guys!

That was the plan. Also the rear view mirror is 100% function able and also the visors work.

Turned out really good, that will be my fall project and a little mini tub setup. I can go ahead and call it a fall project that way I don't feel like I am putting it off all year

A full funny cage is good 8.50 and below. This is a funny car hoop so I can finish it out later when the car runs past 8.5's.

Needs to be built to SFI 25.x spec to go faster than 8.50...the F/C cage is just part of the spec...

Yes, I was trying to say that but it didn't come out that way. The cage is built to spec's and later I can add the other bars.

Which model seat is that? Forza or forza 2? Are they hard mounted or on tracks?

Im thinking about either seat and hard mounting them to the floor for no movement.

It's KBS paint. Put it on with a paint brush and hardens like power coating with a smooth finish.

did you take the pics wet, or is that dry?
damn shiney either way.
looks good!

i just painted mine last weekend and i rolled it on with a smooth roller for painting cabinets.
it left just enough texture to it that it matches the stock panels almost perfect.
