Default For those that installed full cages themselves

How did you go about putting the bars through the dash cleanly? Everything else seems straightforward though time consuming. Did you use a regular hole saw? Did you save this for last, slide the bars through, and still manage to have enough room to weld them down there? I remember seeing a few that were done really nice at the thunder shootout.

I see how it's done. The dash just slide over the bar and you can barely see where it was cut. Any other methods?

thats our car you really do have to take dash out to do it right plus you have to do some triming on the drivers side on factory crossbeam, in that formula you cant tell theres a cage in it from out side , take your time and it will come out clean its worth the time bob included is some picts and 1 scary one good luck
