Looks great. I'm finishing up the exact same cage, and I'm having issues with the halo. It doesn't tuck up very well into the roof line, and there is little clearance for the drivers head when wearing a helmet. Do you have the same problem?

I feel ya.
I see we have the same toque wrench. I have had problems out of mine I took the first one back and exchanged it and now the second one is doing the same thing. It will overtighten and never click sometimes. I just broke a valve cover bolt off in my head. I have to figure out how to get that out now

I think the biggest reason it would not cert is no Sill bars. Required on both sides next year for Uni-body cars. Or So division six is enforcing...
bottom bar the kiddney bar ties into

are you talking for 25.2 cert, because I've never seen anyone put those bars along the floor for 8.5 cert stuff....

I love the digitork one, but the microtork one isn't all that great. I've heard of people having problems with them. The only reason I got it was that it was 1/2 off and I needed a 3/8 torque wrench.

I got you. The 1/2 inch digitork (right one) is so awesome. It's really easy to use. You just turn the **** to the torque you want and crank away. The other one's a pain in the *** as you have to count the clicks to see what torque you're at. I wish I would have gotten the digitork 3/8.

if youi're gonna do it that's the way to do it (strpping it down completely).... I'm actually now wishing I had POR 15'd my entire engine bay..... How is that stuff as far as heat resistance?
The whole car looks great. congrats on it man....
