Default For all you non-southern sectioners....pics of the cage

Got the truck back from doing a basic loop/doorbar setup for the truck. Mainly got it to keep my harnesses in check, but will add on next year if necessary. Anyway.....came out great and cost was $350.

Didn't get it certified.....no tracks to worry about around here, and if I get a ton faster....I'll have to add on to it before I worry about the certification. I was just wanting to get a basic setup for protection and for harness installation. I worry alot because its still driven on the street pretty much everyday, and the harnesses were not doing anything for safety.

Those seats are some I picked up a while back from a store online. They are as comfortable as a racing seat gets, fully adjustable forward and back, as well as forward/reverse tilt. I can't remember the company(might have even been off of ebay....its been a while). I've seen a pair of the summitracing seats in person, and they are all but identical. Mine were just a whole lot cheaper.

[QUOTE=BlownChevy]did you get it NHRA certified?

Unfortunately, it won't NHRA certify without downbars from the main hoop, to the rear frame rails. I don't think the door bars are NHRA legal, too, with those bends. You'd need to use swing-out door bars.
