tight fit a pillar bars for a cage

I purchased a 88 camaro that was backhalved and a 10 point competition engineering cage in it.It came with a title so id like to put it back on the road for a cruise/show car.

From the look of it,the a pillar bars go through the factory speaker holes(dash not in).Sitting in the seat puts the drivers side bar in line with my left eye.That wont work.

Anyone make a bar that sits against the a pillar?

Ya, looks poorly positioned
Cut it out and put another in
It'll have to be custom made, I can't see that would be something you could buy off the shelf

Agreed .As can be seen from my custom built , bar can go a lot further outboard
