Default who has cage in front of dash??

just looking for pics of how you've run the tubes. don't know if i'm going this way or not for the cage. i already have the HVAC out so the dash doesn't need to come out again for anything.

who's got pics.??

Pull the dash man, IMO it looks much better and you'll have more room.

Misunderstood. Mine will be through the dash. It leaves more room.

But I'd like to redo it and go thru the dash at some point.

I think John's in very nicely done. Fabricator did a good job, I usually don't like the before the dash set ups.

I thought abotu doing the bars outside the dash someday.. but it's gonna make it too much harder for my big *** to get in and out of the car.. so when it comes time to need it (after the first 9.99 pass) I'll pull the dash, gut that whole thing and have my 6 pt finished off
