You have to take your interior out to install? If not how do you keep from burning it with the welder?

yeah interior has to come out. and if you get the bars that go through the floor instead of the speakers the gas tank has to come out as well.

We have a Jeg's 10-point cage in our Z28. It requires quite a bit of modification to fit nicely in an F-body. You can pretty much make any roll bar/cage have swing outs, just need to buy the swing out kits.
