At the time I had the cage installed I'd considered going through the floor and firewall with the cage. Scope creep had already increased the expense of the safety project by many many thousands of dollars and I was pretty sure my original sub frame was slightly tweaked and would eventually need to come out of the car.

This car kinda evolved slowly over the years after I first got it back around '90 and I didn't do a full restoration initially. Tying the cage into the front and rear frames, adding a knee bar, and a fuel cell with it's own cage may be something I'll do in the future but for now I just want to get back on track. It's been 5 years since I took apart a perfectly good car and I'm regretting taking it apart. It'll be really nice, but I can't have those years back I could have been out enjoying it.
