Wayne99gsr, yes it is.

There are two ways of doing the front bars and hoop, both of which work well. This cage was a pre-bent kit so it was installed according to how it came.

Will this car have the Top Gun exterior?

I hope the owner decides to go his own route with the exterior as there can be only 1 Fighter Jet AMS Top Gun Drag Car

The bar that goes thru the top of the front dash, I usually see that bar extend all the way back and welded to the main hoop behind the seats. I'm not sure on the design of welding it at the top of the A-pillar. Almost ALL the cages I've ever seen are never in this design. It seems to be taking the easy way out.

Not sure, maybe a drag cage is supposed to look like that, but I know 99% of road racing cages I've seen would never be designed like that.
I was noticing the same thing with the roll cage...
