Thanks for comments guys. I got the car home last night and could not be happier with the job Gary did on the cage. He was able to execute every little subtlety that I requested on it. The tin in the back will not need to be removable so plan is paint or powdercoat then they will be riveted in after cage is painted. The pictures really don't do it justice, the dash bar between the A pillar bars is a work of art. I can still drop column if needed and remove dash if needed and there is still room for the small vintage air unit and the hidden wiper motor. Glove box door is still functional minus the cardboard box, that will make a nice location for a panel to mount the Dominator EFI.

Had to machine .200 off bottom or rack mounting pad and bracket to get rack to clear new pan. Fits nice now with little over .150 clearance and since solid mount it will work fine.

Dave will you be able to drop the oil pan if needed? I'm guessing you'd just have to un-bolt the rack and slide it forward.

Picked up the seat I have been looking for at the Indy swap meet. Its 67 barracuda so I am gonna have Legendary do up a cover in the correct 71 blue but in this pattern. I really wanted the bench with fold down armrest after seeing Jody's car. Need to cut out kidney bar and redo it with about half inch more clearance but the rest is all good, clears hoop and everything else by 1/4 inch

Also made a pretty big order with Summit yesterday. Reid racing sfi turbo 400 transmission case and gen 3 bell housing for it! So now I can fab cross member and finish any floor mods to clear trans and gear vendor unit if needed. Excited to get the ball rolling again.

I had already removed the pinch weld when I redid the fire wall so that was fine but the Reid case had one high spot that required a 2 inch long by about 1/2 inch deep dent on passenger side of tunnel close to the top. If you look at the pic of the trans its the boss just to the left of the "REID" letters that 's what hit. That may not exist on a stock 400 case I really don't know.
