As far as my goal, it's going to be a little street car...simply I want it to go as fast as it can on pump gas and still drive it.

The bar wasn't too bad...my chassis guy had to "massage" a few bars to get them to his liking...

I would love tp put a glide in but I will use the 400 to get the car running. Can't afford the glide I want right now plus I still have alot to buy for the build. I'll get the pics don't worry I haven't forgot about you lol. I have to pick up the car now I'll try to squeeze into my shed later if the weather holds up.

You'll be alright with the 400.
But I would put a Ultra-Bell on it.

So the car is home, picked it up last night in the pouring rain. Here are some pics of the bar and firewall.























Here is a couple of shots of the window net mount....





Here is where I cut the dash pad to fit the roll bar...





Had an issue with the rear panels hitting the back bars...





Did a rough cut on the passenger side panel.



Here is the finished product....



And with the carpet in....





With the plastics cut I had to come up with a new method for the cargo cover...ended up modifying it to work with the bars installed...







To stop it from shifting around I pulled the carpet back and drove two screws through it and they sit in the rubber bumpers...I put the carpet back over the screws and glued it. Here is a picture of the screws going into the bumper....

That looks fantastic!!! Whoever did you cage did a great job. If you don't mind, could you try and answer a few questions for me?

How much was the cage/install/front shock bars? You could PM me if you like.

On the passenger side of the car in the rear wheel well, was there a big (4"x6") black electrical box thing back there? If so what is/was it? I have it in my TA and was wondering if I could take it off.

Some day i'll have my TA like that.

The bar is an S&W piece that was $499, as far as the labor I had gotten a good deal. A really good deal.

I believe that box you are referring to is the factory amplifier if I'm not mistaken.

Ok...so after talking to a few people I know, that are going fast, I decided to not even try to put the TH400 in the car and just get the glide combo done the first try....So my trans is up for sale...

So I ordered the two remaining pieces to button up the interior this weekend. Carpet and shifter...of course I am still waiting on my wire harness. Once I have that stuff I can be done with the interior...next is to finish my front suspension....have Spohn K-member, A-Arms, and rack still in the wrapping...want to pick up spindles as well as front and rear brakes...Thinking about trying the TRZ Motorsports anti-roll bar....I will post pics when I get the harness, carpet, and shifter. Hoping to have a buttoned up interior within the next few weeks....I hope....
