The main hoop needs to go on the floor like he has it. But it needs to be on 6x6 .125 plates. The down bars don't have to goto the strut tower.

That was the bracing I was thinking. Very tired right now and called it by the wrong thing. But glad to see you're still going for a functional top.The bracing i removed so far was only for the rear seat back and seat belts. The top still functions as required.
The pure safety fact aside. I have noticed that the biggest difference when I had a full cage in my 93 Talon was the amount of stiffness that the cage causes on the chassis. It was a very big improvement in handling and launching off the line. There was absolutely no give and was sometimes jaw jarring. Props on building your own man that's awesome.
I've got to ask, Tom, have you been test fitting your seats as you go? If that front seat doesn't recline you'll be sitting so far upright it'll look like you've got a stick up your ass?
I believe you can have it miunted to the sill rail thingy with 6x6 plates, or even tge edge of thr back seats. They dont HAVE to fo to the floor as long as it's on the frame rail. I believe gofer or 99gstracer did it like that and i will too, we is tall.The main hoop needs to go on the floor like he has it. But it needs to be on 6x6 .125 plates.
