thanks for the praise guys! thats what 11 years of boredom will do for ya! Just think, she used to be my wifes WORK CAR! hehehehehe. being disabled i've got alot of time to sit and stare it her redoing things in my head.

anyway thats a custom bent 2 inch - 6 point cage. We mocked it up with PVC pipe and took it to one of my suppliers here in town (Lefthander Chassis - national short track race car builders) and had them cut, bend and weld the main hoop, and we notched and angled the front and rear down bars.

the front bars pass through the floor just before the floor turns up to meet the firewall, and the rears pass through the package shelf out into the trunk floor. they are welded in front to the top of the frame rails, and the rears are welded to the trunk floor with a custom tie bar between the fuel tank and the trunk floor the spans the entire trunk and attaches to the rear inside of the frame rails.

oh and just a side not, not to toot my own horn or anything, but we're currently changing the ENTIRE fuel system to accomodate a TWIN 750 cfm Holley commander EFI system!

i'll let ya know how it goes but she wont be up and running until spring '04.

later guys,
paul

ps. tbird351: unfortunatly in that picture you cant see it but there is an inlaid (ghost) purple checkered flag across the drivers front corner and the passenger rear corner. it done in purple pearl so it "waves" as it passes through different light at night!!
