Not Ranked
If you go up a few threads on ALL COBRA TALK you'll come to current thread "I FINNALY DID IT". the poster has pictures of him and his new Shell Valley project. I think he is taller than me. Heck almost every one is taller than me. The curve of the rear deck causes a horizontal line, wide enough for individual shoulder straps, to be at the top of the nostalgic style seat back, bad angle for anyone that is no a child. I used a bolt on spreader bar with mounting eyes for the driver side and considered stopping work on a new custom soft top to allow me to have another similar roll bar made and mounted. I was too late. I under stand that a passenger would not be allowed at a track event but I've had my car for twenty years and not gotten to a track event yet. The passenger Should get as much protection as the driver, Not getting in is a start. Theses belts are not DOT , I think they are better(if done right) While not being as convenient to get in or out of. Staying with the car is ( I think) the best option. More stories if needed. I had my nostalgic style seats recovered in leather. Now I think it was a mistake, should have bought better seats. for both sides. and installed that other roll bar.
Joe who bought my 56 Bristle 43 years ago , has no intention of installing a roll bar and or better seats.
