I'm surprised that anyone would even fab a custom setup in mild steel anymore, my guy doesn't use it for anything anymore.


Looks good though, and will certainly take care of your safety needs. Now just make sure you have all the SFI **** on the car too, (trans shield, flexplate, pulley) and of course the 5 pt harness.

For 40 lbs and 1/2 the price usually, I can see why someone would want to use MS over 4130/41x0.

Just because "your guy" doesn't use it- doesn't make it inferior.


Looks good Jason, gl next trip to the track!
