Great progress! That's going to turn out awesome.
Hey , thanks a lot to you for the pics and pointing me in the right direction to the rule book.
I bought a chassis cert bulletin booklet when I upped my 91 Daytona from an 8.50 cert to a 7.50 cert years ago. Very handy. The guy that did the 6.50 cert in my 74 duster did a beautiful job before I bought it.

No more dog pics till tomorrow.
I got 3 more bars in for the day. I only got 9 hours in today, those little diagonal bars with 2 angles were interesting to fit and to weld. Some of the ugly welds will be fixed by Tig welding when I finally cut the rest of the roof off .
Stupid pictures are not in order as I choose them!!!!!

Doesn’t matter. I know there are dogs there. They should be in the shop supervising. Things would go way quicker if you bounced your ideas around with them.
Thats what I do at the shop.
Well, I don't mind having the girls around but I personally know how irritating it is to get metal shavings in my eyes and welding burns, skin and eyes. I wouldn't want them to get hurt, i keep them nearby and check on them no more than 10 minutes with loves. shadow however he is smart he stays away when I'm doing that stuff. I bought a welding cap for under my helmet and he didn't know who I was lol.
What the hell @mopowers .
The art Morrison kit I have says the dash bar is designed to go over the steering column, but at the bend from the roof down bars it would meet center of the column. Can I go under the steering column or higher which would bring the bar in closer to the steering wheel, further away from the dash?????

Yeah she's a good kitty, you haven't met her yet
Some good looking pups you have there. Too cute to be awnry, unless they're around Tim too much. lol
Probably from his bloodline lol.
So these pinch weld areas are about butt *** ugly. I hate this.
This is more like it, cut to the seam, grind, weld, blow through, weld, grind and flap wheel shaping.
and lose a little more weight off of the nose.

You'll have to double check the rule book, but I don't think it matters where the bar is. It's really only required with a modified firewall, but I'm sure it adds a ton of stiffness. If I were you, I'd want it as far from my knees as possible.
Okay perfect, I didn't see anything in the rule book and yes I agree... away from the knees
I'm trying to get these bars mocked up but it seems the turn down to the frame rails are 2 inches shorter than I'd have liked them so I'll be building these boxes in mounts to ugly up the rail I made better ill probably try to make them less rectangular and maybe slanted on each side.
Finally, I wish that this was my job !

That one is on the bend and is 14 inches away from my knees. My seat is in the rear foot well nearly so I have plenty of room.
