Routing Cage in 70 mustang (ideas needed).

[Zachalanche]

Just started my cage in my 70 Mach1. Since I will be replacing my roof skin I have an opportunity to make this cage an extremely tight fit. If possible I would like to keep all the vents, heater ac etc. I also want to run the cage through the dash so I can keep theinterior as opened up as possible. Here is where I hope some of you mustang guys can help out. I want the front part of the cage to run as close to the A pillar as possible and then tie into the torque box. if I do this the bar will run right in front of the kick panel vent making it impossible to remove. I could restore these peices and install them permenently hoping that they never have any issues, or try to route the cage differentely, or delete them alltogether, which I would rather not do.

Just curious if any of you have encountered this, or have any thoughts on the subject.

thanks in advance for your input.
