Finally got the car home. This thing looks even better in person. The fab work on this car looks great. I took some better pics today. Pardon the surface rust. I have to get everything painted soon.

The Ladder bars are attached to the roll cage through the floor. The area where the Ladder bar support comes through the floor is reinforced with heavy steel plates.

Custom Shock mounts

E-brake had to be moved to the other side so that the seat would fit. The seat had to be mounted lower so I could have enough room. The floor had to be modified to make it fit. Clearance between the shifter and the e-brake is fine.

Seat belts tabs
