i hear what your saying.you can run a pillar bar through dash or in front of it.looks cleaner if you go through dash.135 u need full certified cage theres no in between there.i usaully make a pilar bar from front corner of roof down instead of a single pipe that comes from b pillar to a pilar and down to floor.it makes it easier to weld and your able to tuck it in tighter.i also do rear bars tight to door frame so it doesnt intere with use of rear seats.

 

I was going to run my rear bars to try and make some use of the rear seats.......but who am i kidding i don't think it would be very comfy anyway w/ "D" bars in the way of your legs unless you don't run them.

 

Do you mean like this

 

Thats almost what Im shooting for, post up the fronts too man.

I almost dont want the rear bars showing in the window...i want to stay sleeper and legit. Any thoughts of covering the bars with something that wont smash your head with in case you get into an accident

That harness bar would knock out some teeth lol, it all looks awesome though..

 

you can make rear bars very tight to c pilar.i did a 4 door chevelle like that once front bench seat,column shifted stock big *** boat steering wheel.you absoultely couldnt tell it had a cage.it ran 8.7s pretty bad *** sleeper.

 

You know it's not to be doing excessive speed with people in back even though If they wear there seat belts they should be fine

I have to find more pic's I have around there I'll post them up when I find them.

 

Sharkbite - Very nice interior you got!

The "D" bars i was talking about are actually the bars that go from the vertical bars of the main hoop that triangulate and attach to the floor right about where your feet go.....underneath the harness bar.

And yes i was going to bend my rear bars similar to yours however even when we measured many times and mocked up a piece w/ me in the back there was no way in hell i would be able to fit in there safely. lol

You can see a piece of it here:

 

Indy doesn't even let ME see the pictures unless I sign a non-disclosure. Finally, it looks like I'll get to head to Indianapolis early next week.

 

contact Evolunchbox.....he has a pretty slick cage setup in in car similar to Sharkbite's.

 

Here is pics of my current set-up. Going to a 10 pt. soon.

 

That is pretty much exactly what Im looking to do. How long til you go 10pt, and what times did you run on that 6pt?

**Never mind just saw your sig..

 

The car has gone 147 MPH before and I'm close to getting into the 9's. Safety is very important to me, minus when I'm dumb and street race, but overall shouldn't be ignored. You are making the right decision.

I'll be going to a 10 pt sometime after the shootout.

 

Yes I feel as though the decision will be the right one for sure, now I just need to find someone around here to either bend the tubing for me or put it in. I would rather do it myself cause there are a few things that I would like to accomplish, but i dont have a bender

 

Put it over your knee, and grunt!!

 

Nice!


noob Q...
So 8pt doesn't need a bar on top in the front?
