Shown below is adjustable telescoping steering column. In the event of impact, column telescopes(shortens to protect driver). It’s easy to adjust the height of the steer wheel and move in/out from driver.

Ultra shield seats just arrived. Will be bolted into steel frame rails which will be welded to frame for more secure seat mount.

Shown below are reworked swing arms with spherical bearings (replacing normal OEM rubber bushings), new uprights (2.5 inches taller than OEM) to bring swing arms back into proper geometry after car lowered approx 2.5 – 3 inches and JRZ 3 way coil overs. Also to be attached with spherical bearings. Thanks to DRM for the great job you did on the swing arms!

Pics of body with new ACP roof in place. Really increases cockpit area as we can move cage out approx 2” in most directions after removal of A and B pillars.
