Hey 92stealthramz28, the cage looks great. I'm working on the 8 point kit--just like yours w/o the halo bar. I noticed you have the stock armrest on the door panels, can you post a pic of how your door bars are installed? I special ordered the door bars with the bend, but I'm still having trouble locating them around the seat and the armrest.

Thanks,
Boo

Hey Booboosean, when I installed the cage I had the pillar bars at the bottom angle inwards, so the door bars could clear.With the pad removed there's about an 1/8" clearance. Here's some pics.

can you take some close ups of where it goes through the dash? what did you have to modify in the dash to get it to fit through?

AlkyIROC 09-07-2005 08:24 PM

I was going to ask that also. Since the only interior my car has is the dash pad, I hacked the ends off to put my A-piller bars in. I wasn't building a show car :)

Your installation does look good though. I like how the a-piller bars tuck tight along the a-piller. I've seen 2 types of cages. One where the halo bar loops around the roof and connects on both ends to the main hoop. The other style has the a-piller bars going up the a-piller, across the rool line and connect to the main hoop. The halo bar is just a bar that runs across the windshield connecting the 2 a-piller bars together. Personally I like that design better but mine is the first style.

Hey 92stealthramz28, thanks for the great pics (very helpful). You did a great job tucking it in so it's not too visible to the guy in the Mustang that pulls up next to you at a stop light lol. I'm going to try to pull off the installation so that I can use most of the stock interior also.

Your tire and wheel combo looks good too. I know this is not the forum for it, but I gotta ask. What wheel offset and tire size are you running in the rear?

Thanks,
Boo

92stealthramz28 = So Slow! hahaha!!! Just playin...car really looks great. Now the question is....Is she ready for the SS?

92stealthramz28 09-08-2005 05:50 PM

KagA152, here are some pics of the dash. I had to notch the corners of the dash pad. I removed the a/c, the only part of the dash I had to modify was the metal support bracket that runs along the bottom. The part of the bracket that was cut off help hold the fuse panel & lower dash pad. So, the bracket that I cut off I had to cut & modify in order to install my fuse panel & lower dash pad in it's stock location. Also, I installed the dash bar & in order to clear my instrument cluster I had to bend the ends.

Booboosean, I have the convo-pro 15x8.5 w/ 5.5 backspacing. Tire size (street) 26x10 American Racers. (drag) Hoosier 28x9. I had to modify the inner fender by the lower control arms w/ a hammer for clearance.

good work dude! i love seeing peepz take ust as much time as i do on the fine details :thumbsup: props to you

Stealth those are some really sweet wheels !!! what model are they??? I'de love to get a set. your roll cage setup looks ALOT like mine. I have an 8 point and I still have the arm rests on my doors. I just made sure that when those bars were welded in place the arm rests were on the doors and the seats were bolted in place to get a true sense of where the bars had to be located to have that setup, little tight getting my seats back on though (PMD seats).

Center line Convo Pros rear 15x8 w/5.5 backspace front 15x4 w/5.5 backspace.
