Please get some proper padding on that roll-bar. I'd recommend http://rollbarpadding.com/prod_DualDurometer.html for a street-driven car, or, if you want blue, http://rollbarpadding.com/prod_FIA8857.html or http://rollbarpadding.com/prod_SFI451.html

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 ...

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.

His car went into tire shake so bad it beat his brains to a pulp in milliseconds . They took him off life support and let him pass on peacefully.

Thank you, and the first set were with my Nikon D7000 the others were either point and shoots or a phone.

Welcome from FL.

Thank you! I just got back from south FL, might actually be moving down next year.

Looking in the West Palm area.

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.
