Eric Falce should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
If anyone objects I will just cover them with an extra long number plate.

Be nicely colour-co-ordinated with your IROC, Al......making them a bid? Wouldn't be much thirstier than your Day van....though not sure about running the rig on LPG

Peter, trying to keep it near to original as possible, can do that at a later date if need be.
The big rig outside Indianapolis stadium is alreadt 5 linked.

Hmm,

From a personal perspective I'd run the five linked rear end and the oversized pinto seeing as not many folk can afford a twink, BDA etc. That set up goes with the big arches. If you want to stick to originality then the extra holes need to be refilled and you go back to Gp1.

The cage looks to be a long way from the pillar (certainly a much bigger gap than on our Mk2), is the cage positioned correctly? If so (or if moving it isn't an option) you'll have to trim down the dash top. I'd have thought it's down to cage positioning - it's not an unusual car (no offence! ) so plenty of people must have done this before.

I hope the Red is Rolls Royce Regal Red Iain? As for the dash,looks like you'll have to carefully cut some away at where ever it needs clearance,not difficult for a man of your capability.

I'm going to have to cut my dash to fit the new roll cage. One of those things though.

That was my thoughts too. Maybe the new cage regs regarding bends in the front legs have come into play here (I'm assuming this is an off the shelf cage?) as those legs look a lot straighter than what I had in my Escort or whats currently in my mates Escort.
