Will post some when the roll bar fab gets started. Just a stripped interior with seat mount ( and turd balls of removed dynamite!) right now. Mike/Phil should be sending more interesting pics sometime soon.

Not Sure Racetech went out of business... I spoke with Pete today about getting a set for our car?

I think they closed their North America facility but still doing business out of New Zealand. Just means it'll probably take a bit longer to get stuff. I thought I saw somewhere that they were reopening doors in NC.

Yeah, Racetech's Reno North America distribution center got dropped, and I was going to test-sit some seats until they lost inventory. Went to Wine Country Motorsports and their stock of OMP HTE seats so I could make a December fit date at my race shop. Phil made an awesome adjustable seat mount so I an always change in the future.

I know! The removal of A-pillars is going to be the new S2000 standard. I know we're heading that way, too.

Below are some pics of the A-pillar gutting and downtube/NASCAR bar rough-in work Phil's doing. Here's a link to the thread "Track build - roll cage, seat, dash" on the overall build (beyond just the A-pillar stuff here). .
