Sweet transformation! I've got a 90 BII I will eventually turn into such a thing . . . I hope at the beginning of next year.

So do you still have the 2.9 pushing that around?

OK I was finally able to get back on my junk. Between my dad selling his house and semi retiring, my daughter's races, the shop being VERY busy, and my knee (sugery on the first) it's been just sitting there taking on dust. It was nice to work on it again. The cage is almost there, I'm lacking the X behind the front seats, and getting the front harnesses mounted. The closest tube to my head is 3"away with my helmet on. Should be OK. My tube supplier ran out of unpickled DOM so I had to use some that is pickled hence the 2 different colors. I prefer th non pickled as it doesn't jam as easy in the bender and doesn't splatter as much while welding it. Any way I hope to get this wheelable soon, and I can't wait to "test" it.

In addition to the cross-bracing behind the front seats, I'd add some more to the rear. Something like this maybe:
