im rocking an Art Morrison pre bent, it fit pretty damn well.

my first ever attempt at installing a cage. had to re-do the side bars but that was completely my own fault!

Please put some really good roll cage padding to protect your head. See at this link, http://safedrives.com/products.asp?cat=105. For street driven cars, the FIA padding has the best test data of anything we looked at selling, see at http://safedrives.com/proddetail.asp?prod=FIApad. All of this is in stock. =-) peace

Ah yes, I'm not sure why I missed it last time.

Please support a vendor that supports H-T and buy the S&W (or Autopower) kits from us. Thanks!

100% sw pre bent 25.5, only thing we changed around was the funny car cage. we used a 3/4 inch bar instead.
there are a couple of ways the kit comes where you can change the configuration of the drivers cage. we opt to go this route as we were under a time line we needed to meet in a 6 week build time. other then that i would have def like to do the cage another way. but all in all it passed tech cert'd and very comfortable to sit in.
the fitment is really tight.

Don't do "around the dash" cage. Cant remove your dash after install, ugly, in the way, and you will regret it.

How do you remove the dash if the cage goes through it?

And how do some of you guys with coupes retain the back seat and take it in and out?

Dash is slotted and slides into place after cage install.

Coupes with rear seats can have bent rear bars that go through the speaker sill and into the truck area. As long as the bars attach to the floor at 35* (iirc) from vertical or greater its legal. Probably not gonna have anyone sit back there... more for class requirement purposes.
