That looks nice. It appears that you ran the main hoop all the way down to the floor. How did you attach it and did you loose much seat adjustment with it? Also, was this a kit or a complete custom fab job?

........... The hoop does run down to the floor ... lost about two inches of rearward travel on the seats ... that can be regained with a true race seat ... it started as a kit but the installer added some pieces and tweaked the "kit" with some of his own dimensions and bends ... the kit was from A.R.T. (Applied Racing Technology) in Pinellas Park , FL and is ALL chrome moly tubing ... I will get more pics including the base for the hoop ...............

Why not a full cage? If this is for a specific race series I would check your rules. Bends in the trailing bars are typically not allowed.
If it was just for a street/strip car, then no worries.

..... This is a street strip car ... at 7.39 or quicker 1/8th mile ET a rollbar is required ... at 6.39 or quicker , a cage is then required and can easily be added to the rollbar ... FYI 6.39 = roughly 10.50 1/4 mile ... the rollbar was installed by a drag race shop ... there are no bends in the trailing bars ... the only bends are in the two hoops and the forward ends of the door bars ... I'm not ready to give up the A/C and stereo yet so the dash remains intact for now ... with a full cage the forward bars need to go down through the dashboard and instrument panel ... I DO drive this to the local strip on drag radials but throw the slicks on for races that I tow to ... I love rumbling in to the cars and coffee at Dupont Registry and vibrating the wax off the Lambo's , Porsches , and GT40's ... not to mention the Saleen , Shelby , and C5 crowd ... no other C4's show up there lately .......... Mine is certainly not a show car , but its not a turd either ...............
