Dave,

Do you have a photo of the dash in the car. Just curious what you notched or removed to fit around the bars.

Thanks!

The stock dash is back in the car, but right now i am finishing up the wiring.. so its out again.. When I get it all done i will post some more.. all the stock panels will/are in the car. Maybe to help i will shoot a picture of the dash.. i had to notch for the up down bars.. and then on the passenger side.. i had to notch the door to the glove box so it would still open and close.

On a side note.. i am looking for a dash from a f-body pontiac for my car if anyone has one.. please let me know

3bars away from a "cage" but a hella crazy roll bar! I don't think a 315nitto will let me go so fast that I would need a cage!

I remember someone telling me awhile back, how they would never turn there car into all out drag car. And that same person all so mentioned that some point down the road the same car would return back to stock configs.

Oh how things change. LOL

Ya gotta love those t-top and convertable drag cars. My chassis builder had a custom carbon fiber t-top replacement replica piece built for my car to replace my factory t-tops. They used molds of my OEM t-tops.

Talk about weight savings!

My vote would go to Bowman's cage pics. The reason I like his cage is because IMOP his Funny Car Halo was built correct. Whom ever built the cage obviously is a drag racer and new that in order to allow the driver freedom to freely shift without the obstruction of bars took this into consideration when building the cage and designed the funny car cage right side halo tube well enought to open that area up.

Those of you guy's will understand what I'm talking about after some track use.
