Hey guys, can any body post some pics of the front a-piller bars going through the dash on an A body ? doesn't seem to be a whole lot of room there and just what to get some ideas before I start cutting. I'm not using the halo, I had bars bent that go back to the main hoop, then just one across. I have like three dashs for my dart so I want to get some thoughts before I cut it up. Thanks John..

There is not a lot of room to spare, but there is enough. I can snap some more pics if you want, because I still don't have the dash pad on, which is something else you need to consider as it needs to be modified (at least in my case).

I made sure I can get the pillar trim back on before I welded it solid.

A lot of time was spend test fitting, trim, fit, trim, fit, etc. Lots of trimming the dash, just because I didn't want to remove excess material.

All in all, it was a pain in the neck, but I guess it is done.

Here's a pic before the dash went back in.


Dash in. I welded the dash to the bar, and used a very small amount of plastic filler to make a seamless blend.
