PSJ is a tall dude, so it's probably dead on for him. Your head can't go past the top bar to be legal. John can you give me a link to that hood. I like that one not the 5in monster.

Lookin' good John...

Maybe one of these days I'll start working on mine again... I haven't even thought about touching it for at least 3 months now. I've got too much other crap to deal with, and not enough money to make any real progress.

Good luck on everything!

Sean the side bar is a swingout.

Seat is on angle brackets.

NHRA tech requires that the top of my helmet be lower than the top bars. I am 6'1.

I'm surprised nobody noticed how far forward the seats are. We are going to redo them and push them back 3-4 inches after NvsS.

Bill it's the VFN 2" WS6 bolton, weighs 25 lbs.

Everything looks great EXCEPT for the cage. Why not go through the dash? Its sooooooo much more cleaner than bending around it. To me it looks kinda ghetto the way you have it ran not to mention the harder it is to get in and out like that. Im sure others wont say anything but I do. Other than that, everything looks good in the pics.

That's about how far foward my seats are, but I'm only 5'10",I'm use to being closer
because of always driving an M6.

PSJ- get a dust rag.

I was looking at stuff, and honestly I could put the AC back in. I'm tempted. I might have to relo some parts of it but it's possible.

I have crazy dust on the car, it's very thick.

I've done a full cage going through the dash with full AC trim in it. It can be done.

Yah Harlan mentioned it being doable too, my chassis shop did not have interest in figuring it out and I did not want to have $4,000 roll cage.
