Car looks great. Good job.

2 things I'd recommend if you track this car:

1. I'd recommend a proper roll bar or at least a harness bar (as someone stated in a previous post). The positioning of your harnesses will wreck your back in a frontal collision (spinal compression)
2. The back issue is secondary to the fact that in a high speed frontal crash the belts will stretch (up to 4 inches!) and you will eat steering wheel!

I'm a race instructor through NASA and a few other track clubs and have personally seen what a non-airbagged car with improperly mounted belts can do. The gentlman this happened to had the same mods you do and had to undergo 4 months of corrective surgery to his face.
Now it's my hope that you at least run with a closed face helmet? If not, get one and don't go back to the track until you do. Just lookin' out for you man.

Thanks for the look out, the car is going back to the shop for the cage and I also bought the Takata Crotch Strap for 5-Point Conversion.
