Hi, Riley here. I just wanted to clear some things up about the cage, just to confirm its quality. For the A pillar bars, they are not spaced away from the pillar so I could put in big dimple die plates, they are tucked as closely to the dash as possible so that I could avoid cutting the dash out and losing all of the stock functions that have been retained behind the dash. The dimple die plates were not at all priority, and everyone who knows me and the cages I have built knows I like to tuck them as tight as possible

Also "195/55/15s wrapping 8.5” wide wheels in the front and 205/50/15s wrapping 10s" with LSX torque 
But as mentioned, it's built to do burn-outs, so this will absolutely satisfy it's one purpose!
Great Show car build though!
Looks very nice and good build! |
The rear cage legs do in fact tie directly into the top of the strut tower via 6x6 1/8" load plates, I think the part of the cage you are seeing in the photos are in fact the "x" brace that ties into the strut towers as well via the spreader between the towers.
I am not sure what you're talking about exactly on the front door bars and the a pillar being offset, but they are nascar "style" door bars and in the very cramped interior of the car, are actually safer than a traditional door bar because it gives the driver a little bit more room before any side intrusion contacts he/she given an impact
All of that being said thank you very much for the compliment on the build, the wheels and tires could be much wider, but for right now, I don't want to kill wide, expensive hard to find tires out back, so 205's suit my wants right now
