yeah those bigger pics are better can you run a spreader bar or a 4 point cage inside the car cause if you cann't I'd say put the passenger front seat back in so it saves that door post I've never ran without both front seats in it always figured I'd leave it in so then that side wasn't caving in on me just a thought

the seat is already gone to the scrapyard i really didnt think about that when i took it out, i think i can but a bar for the post to the hump in the floor so i think im gonna go that route. this is a big learning experacne for me its fun but its rough doing it on your own with limited knowledge, help and resources

how are you gonna run your seat bar cause i know stoney doesnt let you run door post to post i always run a strap from door jam to the front window pillar on the passenger side. did you flip your front bumper shockes yet so the front bumper will sit higher

Etwn, i will post pictures of my seat bar i emailed them my idea and was told i could do it. yes i have both bumper shocks fliped on the front and back. if i can get 2 more sets of bumper shocks im gonna drill out the front and clapse them , but i dont know if they will notice it or not so thats why i want to get another set.

i have a question about what to use to wire down my hood and trunk. I have seen where folks use 9g tie wire wire to tie them down, i cannt seem to be able to find that around my area. that only thing i have found is the tie wire for tieing rebar with and its only like 16g small stuff. can i just use 3 strands of that and twisl thwm togather then tie aroundhood and trunk? i dont really want to use chain im already welding the doors shut and im thing about wireing in between the welds also. is there anything i could use that will hold as good as 9 wire or where can i get the 9g wire? any suggestions will help thank you.
