I'm now in the roll cage installation planning phase for my 82 Corvette;
and it will be interesting how to get it in there and still maintaining
a stock appearance (that is, not gutted) for GT class. B/GT Ed; you can
lounge back in your easy chair. Your many MPH ahead of me anyway.

I went to the all Corvette show at Carlisle, PA  this past weekend
hoping to see some examples. Only one drag car with a full cage. The
owner had cut out the entire floor pan and added 2 extra tubular
crossmembers which served as anchor points for the cage. Most of the
interior was replaced with aluminum panels (dash too) so his method
didn't provide  much inspiration.

Anyone have any ideas or done one? One of the chassis builders (think it
was Alston) sells a precut cage kit for this car. I'll be talking to
them tomorrow to get more info. You guys are my only other resource.
