Larrys car is an original six-pack car. I can't remember, but it does appear that the cage doesn't go through the dash. VERY nice car!

Call Chassisworks they bend cages to clear the dash. I have one in mine but don't have a dash so pics wouldn't do any good.

Thanks Doug and John for the kind words about car. 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.

We made a "slightly" smaller dash made of carbon fiber.

I think my biggest issue beyond effecting the ability to use he car on the street is. What if you have an electrical problem and have to remove the dash to get to it?

Do you have a lower picture of window crank and door handle and does the side bar lay on your shoulder-arm tight?

I agree. 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.

Dash pad back on. Don't worry the OEM pad was junk. I have a new one to put back on now.

Some really good info in this thread. 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?

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. LOL
