    Great looking cage and frame connectors - I like how they conform to the underside of the floor.

    Looks great, I am jealous :) that is the last component I need to complete my build but when I put it in then I will need 5 point harness,different seats its a viscious circle you strieve to go fast you finally make it then you have to add stuff because you go too fast and I dont want to sandbag anymore than I have been already

    That looks great. I really like how the sheet metal in the rear seat area was done,I need to do mine the same way. Those connectors are made by Chassis Engineering.

    Those have to be the best fitting connectors I've seen pics of. I really like those, look almost factory the way they follow the floorpan. I might have to look into getting a set of those later on.....

    we did have to shape them a little but not much and pound up the floor pan a little. overall they fit pretty good.
