I believe that vacuum source on the Intake Manifold is for the missing Brake Master Cylinder & Booster.
I just really do not like somebody's logic here. A show car should be nice inside, have interior, custom stuff, etc.
This looks like an all out race car with a bodykit, and expensive paintjob.

I don't think the MC and booster even exist. Look at the vacuum port on the IM. Empty...

id agree pointless on a showcar...and pointless on that as it wont run fast enough to require such an extensive cage, but that cage design is an extremely safe one, very simmilar in design to the one my buddy just put in his 850 hp 69 camaro drag car

what about the cage going into engine bay? because u dont understand it? or because its pointless for a show car?

Theres plently of palces it could be hidden, but its not hooked up. The car doesn't run. The OEM location for vacuum supply to the MC is empty. Without plugging this at least, the car will have a f*ed idle.

im thinking either a tilton setup or its hidden in the firewall gap
ok im not saying im a roll cage expert in any way, but in cases of a frontal impact wouldnt most of the energy be transferred to the cage. in doing this wouldnt it greatly damage the body. im just saying i dont think its necesary (sp) nor look good.

im no expert either but i have seen quite a few different cage setups in friends cars and even closely examined tube chassis and top level NHRA cars and a majority of them run the front cage bars into the engine bay and the chassis. i dont believe your actually seeing the roll cage attached to the body but actually the chassis itself. running it like that helps stiffen it up in case of an accident preventing extra collapse. and im pretty sure at certain bracket levels your required to have that level of a cage at a minimum
