Thanks for the advice. Yeah, this was my first cage. This cage was more for practice with our new tube bender. Sooner or later this cage will be cut out and I'll make a chromoly one. But thanks for the advice.

All together I probably gained 3 inches between doing the floor and solid mounting the seat.
I haven't done the exhaust yet. But it will more than likely going out the side.
