I just put a cage in the car and now I have no backseat. I need some Ideas on what to do to the back to fill up the open space.

Wow, that cage looks awesome! Where'd you get the collapsible steering column?

Depends on where the bars are. A good custom shop can modify the back seat frame and recover it.

It look like a 68 I have in my garage.

Try the battery, if you haven't already relocated it yet. Put it dead center or offset to passenger side to counteract your weight a little. Make sure it is well vented to the outside of the car, perhaps wheelwells?

Speakers? Lots of soundproofing close to rear wheels? I used Quiet Coat on mine, you could slather that on the floors to minimize road noise from the rear tires/suspension. Look into a solid divider between gas tank area and passenger compartment, there are a few made there. Kind of a rear firewall idea.

In general, I would prefer to add as much useful weight to the center and rear of the car (at or forward of the rear axle, of course) as I could, to help in both straight line and cornering traction and offset the weight imbalance of a RWD front engined V8.
