I ordered a pair of Kirkey Pro Street seats.
#21
I'm wondering about the driving position with the new seats. All the aftermarket seat installs on the factory bases appear to raise the seat height due to the required spacer plate and the different design of the aftermarket seat frames. The 05 seats sit pretty low in the car.

id wait a bit till the aftermarket catches up so that you can get exactly what you want...either that or find a local place to fab up a seat bracket for ya...might cost a bit but i think part of the appeal of the 05's is that you sit so low....
thanks adrenalin for flexing your mod muscle :P

There's a place in Chelmsford that does roll cages. I'll find out tomorrow at work the name of the place.
What's the big deal about waiting till April? You can't race until then anyway.

For chassis builders April usually means August.

Welch Welding
162 Middlesex St
North Chelmsford, MA 01863
phone: 978-251-8726 or 800-872-7569
They're an automotive welding shop, and there's a kid that works there that has worked on supermodified race cars and put in a roll bar in my co-worker's Mustang vert this summer. I think the majority of the work they do there is plows and hitches, but they do any kind of car/truck welding. I don't know how good they are but several people here say they're good. Wouldn't hurt to call or go down there and talk to somebody.

Ok Guys.I am going to do my own chrome molly 8 point cage.I have access to a bender and tube notcher at the shop that I subcontract for.I have keys to the shop and can use anything I like.I will be tig welding everything along with a custom subframe conector.On our cars you have to build boxes for the cage to weld to.Also eliminate the rear seats.I see no way to get to the trunk arround them.
Give me some time,I will document all my bends and lengths and have the print to do others when I am done.
I will do anyone elses once mine is complete.

Is this illegal due to not having the cross bar behind the headrest or because it runs beside the seats to the rear. I'm not too sure of what the rules require as far as where the bars run too.

2 The bars are bolted together, they have to be welded.
3 The front down bars are mounted too low on the hoop. They must be mounted mid way between the hip and shoulder.

What a waste of time for nothing.I like where the bars go to the rear, but you could only do that with the bolted cage.You would not be able to get the plastics back on if the cage was fully welded.Also george is correct on the side door bars.They have to pass between your shoulder and elbows.
