Thanks bro. I was a little concerned with the parallel swing out bars. But rules only call for the bar to pass between shoulder and elbow, with no other specs.

So I'm in. Going to start putting interior back in

Interesting. I'm liking the ease of where you put it. Might incorporate something into my cage as such....

Yea that turbo was a lot bigger than I was expecting had to custom weld 90s on the intercooler to make everything fit.

I have been soooo busy with work and have been spending months at a time in brazil, the car is kinda on back burner. Hopefully I will start back working on it next month. I'm getting the fever again. Starting to see too many cars riding around my area and 9 out of 10 of them always stop in front my shop and do a big smoooookey burn out. Pisses you off and motivates you all at the same time 😀😀😀
