Thanks for replying guys. I seen most of the cages on line as Dale posted. I installed a cage in my 80 with race seats. In the 80 I welded the main hoop down onto the rear cross member up against the inside of the kick up of the rear section of chassis. In the 66 with the stock seats there doesnt seem to be enough room. I was thinking of placing the main hoop onto the kick up but then the rear bars are further back which would mean making the notch in the rear deck much longer. I will just be using the hard top only so I wont have to worry about the soft top interfering. I'll talk it over with the guy whose going to install the cage for me.
Jeff I have a few pictures of your Vette but I cant see the main hoop set points.
