There stuff fits real good. 5349124-Trump_lg.jpg (48 downloads) Snap your neck, mega G-force launch, is all I want!

Also the halo bar is about 4" from where the door seal is from the side of the car. If I try to center my seat with the steering wheel my helmet will be touching the halo bar. I am just not happy with it and have learned a lot a little too late about some things but I am willing to bite the bullit and put in another cage before I get too far with my project. Just looking to see what will fit best. Any comments and opinions welcome.

I have the same problem with the halo bar so I did some mods in vain so now I got some more tube and having Killer Customs bend me a new halo bar. Dropped it off today ready for tomorrow morning. I have the same kit from Comp Eng. and nothing fit and I am adding more bar. When I modified the halo I had to widen it 9" and the new one will be 9" wider than what was in the box, I ordered for a 69 b-body but must have been made for a compact.

I compared the measurements to the cage I have and also to my car. It is going to fit like a glove so I went ahead and ordered it. The cages are completely different, S&W halo bar is 5" wider and the main hoop is way taller and will fit to the roof.
