Aside from all the weld critiques which was very educational, I have a question and am surprised nobody else picked up on it. Are you planning on using a 5 point harness? There could be a major problem. I don't know how tall you are, but if you are planning on routing the shoulder belts through the seat, you will fail. The cross bar cannot be higher than shoulder height and no more than 4 inches below shoulder level. If you are planning on routing the shoulder belts over and around and the racing seat headrest, than you could be ok if it is within the 0 to -4" or 90 degree driver to shoulder belts angle. If not, that bar will not pass. You should really check these measurements while seated to make sure you will be safe. Even if only going to run "low 11's"

Good eye on the shoulder harness mounting angle , nobody else including me caught it.

If that is your chosen seat, then you have safety problem. I don't know nor care if an inspector catches it or not. If the seat can be raised or another bar added, problem solved. The belted driver is mainly restrained from upward movement by the lap/crotch belt, the shoulder harness is primarily to restrain forward motion of the main mass of the body. The pictured y? belt single shoulder harness ( also nhra declined) seat opening would distort the shoulder harness and or seat, and is way too far down. To low is another topic. Far all this trouble, you do not want your head or body to be hitting this finely welded roll bar in a heavy on track incident, and of course their is resale value to consider.
