I am planning a new CM cage in my '66 Charger based on a S&W kit. Everything looks pretty good except for the forward "j" bars that protrude through the firewall and connect to the a-pillar down bars. What perplexes me is how to keep the a-pillar bars out of the windshield yet still place them so they can intersect the j-bars. It almost appears that I'd be better off installing the bar outside of the inner fender well.

What says the fabricator crowd?
