The purists will cringe. Its an original B5 blue with B5 blue interior A66 340 car. Didn't have the original engine & trans when I bought it so I am building it my way. Been thinking about doing all of the interior in the original B5 blue color even with the alum Kirkey racing seats. I think it would contrast good with all of the black tubing every where or black interior with the cage bars painted B5 blue.

Looks Great!! Moly Tubing?
All Moly tubing. Very similar to how your old car was done.
Your A-Pillar & Dash bars look very familiar.

Yes, Thank you very much for the pictures you sent to me quite some time ago. They have been very helpful in making some important decisions.

one thing you may want to look into while still in fabrication stage is the 25.3 spec. the couple extra bars will allow you to cert. to 6.0 instead of the 7.50 with the 25.5. you may never use it but is nice to have if you ever do upgrade down the line. also one mistake i made is checking for clearance on the dash bar (same as yours) the stock cluster will not fit
Kind of thought about 25.3 but with my budget it will never go 6's. Going to be using aftermarker gauges. Stock ones are to dang hard to see at night. ecspecially, at high speeds. Would like to do the "All Motor" &/or stock suspension classes, but I have enough NOS to nuke a small town for my 440 build & for future use (2) 106MM turbos for the alum HEMI build. Won't even need the 7.50 cert at first but at least it will be all done right.
A pair of 106mm turbos on a Hemi will put you well past 7.50et's unless you never use more than 5psi I agree with prochargedhemi, take the time to go for the 25.3 cert.

Glad I could help out! If you could, please email me back copies of those pics. I had an external hard drive issue and lost all of the build pics I had of my Chally.
