I was really lucky when I bought the car. Had no rust. California car. Only had 69k original miles. Found in an old ladies garage with sewing equipment in the trunk. Converted from V6 to V8.

Ridetech Tiger Cage installed
Pretty easy install for this roll cage by Ridetech. I went this route because I liked it could be removed easily.

I was just going to run a 4 point harness, but after doing research on this site it came to my attention it wasn't safe so I was able to modify the new seats and add the 5th point for extra safety to prevent submarining in the event of an accident. Came out great, although cutting into brand new seats was a bit scary.

They are ready to go. Would be a fun picture to retake when they are of driving age.
