Default Pics of my 10-point cage















I put a 6 point roll bar couple years ago, I was trying to avoid putting a cage in the car, Im 6'3" tall and thought it might look ugly, but finally decided step it up and give it all its got at the track. A buddy of mine local chassis builder says I always get the best out of him and when ever we gotta work on my car he says "are you gonna complicate things again" but he was proud of his work after the job was done, and i my self am very happy the way it turned out, the car is now certified to NHRA 8.5.

Yes rear window comes out I made sure to position the rear bars in order to clear the rear window, it can only come out through the rear. Rear view mirror clears the hallow bar, and the sun visors are still functional just gotta trim the outside edges a lil bit, and I made sure to position pillar bars and window net latch, so it clears when opening T-top latches.

Did you cut out the floor and make it flat?

I'm shorter than you by 5 inches and i have my Race seat all the way back to the stock battery box wall does your bar behind the seat even move the seat farther forward?

Very very impressive. Show us some pics when you've got the seats back in. Are you fitting the C5 seats back in or some newer race seats?

No I did not cut the floor or make it flat bar behind the seat is formed so it layers against the battery box wall. It moves the seat recliner forward for the thickness of the bar only. Im using C5 sport seats with C3 sliding tracks re modified mounting tabs, here are some pics.

I like what you did to the inside of the door skins. I had my 45 degree down barplaced inside of the door rests. I could have gained another couple of inches there
