Very nice... other than some upside down pics...

I might one day do this to mine, but find a way to make it work for the backseat (Redline).

Because safecar?!

Required hole saw thru the rear panels for the rear cage supports, holes drilled in floor boards. Getting the seat belt bolts and interior panels back on was a total mf

The front blocks the glove box and secret compartment. I trimmed the secret compartment door to allow about 50% open amd get the truck release

Also i had to trim some wire loom studs under the carpet in the fron so it would sit flat

Good drill, cobalt drill bits and unibits are a must! Drilling that chrome moly tubing is no joke

if that's an autopower im pretty sure they don't use chrome moly especially because they mig weld it. its usually dom mild steel. hope your putting padding on them bars.

the welds are definatly mig welds, the padding is going in soon. need to find some colored noodles lol

the helmet clears and im not a small guy and have mastered getting in and out without bashing the noggin

also you get a pantie shot every time a female climbs in

yeah if its mig welded its definately not chrome moly tubing. i was referring to the padding mostly because of street driving. i plan to eventually just do a roll bar because if i was to go through getting a whole cage id just build one

Looks good. I am thinking about doing a chump car and this seems like a cheaper option then getting one custom installed like my primary cobalt
