To be NHRA legal the bar should fall between the drivers elbow and shoulder. Bar "looks" fine. Got a pic w/ driver in place? Kinda car is that? Old one.

Seat is about 1.5-2" higher since its sitting on would planks across my frame, and the brackets where made for the old floor and have to be redone.

I want to meet nhra where-ever i can, but i know i failed at the bars going back from the main hoop. The only way to make those work is to run them out of the body into the trunk[kind of like a caged pickup truck]. This is mainly a street car, i just want to be as safe as possible, and if i meet the rest of the nhra specs they may miss my down bars.

The car is a 33 ford coupe/roadster. Here is the build thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...ker-build.html
