Here is a picture of the engine bay with the engine pulled. I need to clean all of this up once I get the floor pan figured out. I cut out the drivers side rocker panel yesterday. I've mocked up a 2" X 2" tubing to replace the current rocker panel. This will allow the floor to be raised several inches over a factory floor pan. This will allow me to lower the car much further then you could traditionally with a factory floor pan. This is the bases for the hole roll cage that will be going into the car. My only concern at this point is head clearance to the A pillar bar. I may omit that bar in my car to keep it more streetable as I don't want to have to wear a helmet to get inside the car. Since I'm not really build this car for any sanctioned race organization, I have a lot of freedom on the cage design. I'm not intending to be doing any serious drag racing with this chassis, so I'm happy to not have to do a NHRA cage. Also, since I will only be doing track days at the road course, I won't need a spec cage for that. The cage will be built from chromoly steel tubing as I purchased a lot of it several years ago when I was going to turn this car into a dedicated drag race car. Its all a big compromise to make this car something I will use regularly. I don't want to have to tow it to use it. I want to be able to jump in and drive it where ever I want.
