Very well executed and it looks like you preserved the birdcage for the most part. I installed a 4 point in my coupe mainly for additional rollover protection and harness mounting points.

If you're going to do any serious vintage road racing you will need side protection in the door area and frame to top cross bracing side to side.

Do you know if they make one where you can keep you interior moldings maybe not so aggressive? And are you going through the fire wall?
