When you say side bars, are you talking about door bars or is there a removable bar tying the corners of the main hoop to the a pillar bar?

Is this just an autocross car or is there serious track time in the future?

That looks extremely dangerous for a street car. Pick which is more important. Race car or street car? Like most things in life, you can't have it all!

Thanks guys. Ron, I was hoping for your input. I'll put a tape measure to it this weekend using stock seats. The Corbeaus are LG1s and so they are not full containment.

The front hoop and connecting bars seemed like a great idea until I saw it after the fact. I want safety to be the primary factor and the car will not face serious track time. I wanted to build something that would be along the lines of the Optima Challenge cars. The fact of the matter is that the front hoop is going to cause me to spend thousands of dollars on a hand built dash because I can't get a stock one back in there. So there is sort of a silver lining to this cloud if I do need to take this out.
