Roll cage does not go through dash, I spent a lot of time fitting those bars around the dash. I started with an S&W cage kit and made a few mods to suit me. I used a piece of 1 1/2 pvc pipe to make a pattern for dash bars, has original dash and door panels. Had to move inside door handles forward approx. 3/4" to clear side bars. Car is in trailer right now, I'll try to get some pics this weekend. Larry Miller Jr. SS/FA 1725

All of my cars I have had & I have never removed the entire dash for any electical reasons. I see my car has been mentioned in a few posts to reference for pics. Here is one of mine without the dash in & before it was painted. NHRA tech guys actually prefered my "A" Pillar bars because the knee bar is tied right into the kick panel of the body with 1/8" plates. 7944317-DSCI0027[640x480].JPG (120 downloads) Last edited by 6PKRTSE; 12/02/13 02:57 PM. 1963 Belvedere 440 Max Wedge Tribute 1970 Charger R/T S.E. 440 Six Pack 1970 Challenger R/T, 528 Hemi 1970 Charger 500 S.E. 440 4 BBL 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 383 1974 Chrysler New Yorker 440 1996 2500 RAM 488 V-10 4X4 2004 3500 Dually Cummins 4x4 2012 Challenger R/T Classic.

Got a pic of the blue car with the dash pad installed where I can see if it was cut or not? I have been wondering how to finish the cage in my car. Its a V-code N96 4 speed, originally with only a little over 14k miles on it...Being that E-body's go for a good price, you never know when the money train is going to come to town and want to buy it, so if I ever finish the cage in mine, I want to do it right...Been thinking about the VFN route so I could do the cage right and put a Racepak dash in it...Don't know. Do you leave the VIN on the old dash? Last edited by Dragula; 12/02/13 09:24 PM.

I'm not against the side bar, if that's what your asking. I also forgot to mention that oe seats will fit, had oe seats in when car was originally built. Replaced with race seats to get to min weight. Liked the oe seats better though. Also in response to above post, leave the VIN on dash, it drives the resto guys crazy to see an original car being raced.
