Rolocut Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'm concerned about not being able to move the seat back far enoughMy cage follows the line of the quarter window. My buddies max motorsports bolt in has a bent harness bar that goes to the rear so seat can have full extension back if your freakishly tall or lanky as all hell On going project, 94 cobra, r block, tfsr225, hp efi, vortech ysInstagram @rolocutSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'm concerned about not being able to move the seat back far enoughI'll take pictures of my mm cage. What Rolocut said is exactly right. The harness bar curves back so driver clearance should be no issue unless you have seat extenders of drive from the backseatSent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'm not worried about rear seat access, my seats already make that near impossible anyway lol. I'm gonna stick with a low-slung door bar if/when I do a cage because even with swing outs I still hate having the door bars run next to me, I've ridden in a handful of cars with door bars both fixed and swing out, and wasn't a fan of either really. I know the low-slung bars aren't track legal at a drag strip but luckily I don't care about drag racing anyway so that's not an issue lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I doubt when the time comes I'll find a kit with all the aspects I want in a cage, so at the very least I'd buy a kit for the main hoop and such, then add custom stuff from there to get it how I want it. Looks like I'll be hitting you up when the time comes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Very true Troy, your 95 is already road worthy, whereas mine is still far from it lol. I only ended up with a few hours to work on it today, sadly. I should have two days next weekend to really knock out some progress on it though, so I'm crossing my fingers that nothing comes along that takes that opportunity away before then lol.

95riosnake Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Quick update...no I haven't given up lol. I've finished up all the welding under the car, prepped everything and it's all primed and painted. Hopefully I'll get some time to go down and pull the masking today and shoot some photos for you guys. I haven't really posted much of the work I've been up to in the last couple weeks because it's been just more of the same I already showed you when I was doing the passenger's side. There's nothing very photogenic about sanding, rust removal, prepping for paint and masking lol. Just a lot of time consuming stuff. Good news is the paint fumes have finally cleared out of the house, much to the delight of my wife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 when do I get the pipes? Probably another couple weeks. It's been tricky to keep the welds from burning through where the seams are close together on the pie cuts but I'm getting there slowly but surely. I've also had to be careful to not get too much heat in the metal, doing my best to minimize warping. They'll no doubt move some but I gotta make sure it isn't too much or they won't fit! lol i was wonderingg when youd be doing something on the car! Haha I've been doing plenty, just a lot of time consuming miserable work that wasn't photo worthy lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Found some time yesterday to go shoot some photos. I'm very happy to finally check this project off the list. All I have left to do under the car is run a new battery cable and install the Stifflers trans cross member Before pulling the masking: Kind of like a pile of wrapping paper on Christmas morning isn't it? lol And the finished product.

Thanks Scott, I really like the clean look of the gloss gray. Reminds me of the old trans am race cars that had light gray under carriages, interiors, wheel wells, etc. The Lizard Skin is nice stuff too though, just not the route I wanted to go with mine.
