I've tested BSCI's SFI 45.1 padding personally, and will vouch for it.

LS1 is a nice swap.

Thank you, and I have thought about it as it is street driven right now, but with the new seats(fixed backs)/brackets the seats sit much further up then the cage and there is no way physically possible for one to bang their head on it. And at the track I have a helmet on and there is still no way my head can hit.

Pretty soon it will be a dedicated track car with a full weld in cage however.

That is what Hard Dog roll-bar owners used to say years ago about their installs. Then there was a death from being rear-ended waiting at an intersection (well, from being unaware of approaching vehicles, but ...). Now Hard Dog sells good foam.

In any case, folks around here call nicely-painted bars with no padding 'monkey bars.' Think about why ... :smiley2:

My apologies for being so hard, but after having been involved in racing and rallying for over 25 years and stewarding for over 10, I foam at the mouth when I see unsafe and dangerous installs such as yours, particularly as you obviously take great pride and care of your vehicle.

I wouldn't recommend moving to FL based on this picture alone. Unless you like strip malls and swamps. Nice Second Empire style house there (and some difference in elevation.)

I was just down in West Palm/Palm beach and I loved every minute of it, the beautiful scenery the beach, the houses, cars, shopping, City Place especially. Something I could get used to every day. I've lived up here for 20+ years and overseas for a few years, It's time for something new.
