Default Custom Roll Cages, post up some pics
Okay so I'm in a fabrication class at school, and have access to a pipe bender. I was thinking about putting a roll cage into my Camaro. Its just for show, not for racing or anything. Just want to get an idea where to start and what to base it off of. Post up pics of your custom cages and what material its made out of. Thanks in advance!

I had built the custom roll cages on several Camaros and sold to drag racers (probably +2camaros) long time ago. I stopped work with the custom roll cages. Too Lazy >

That first time I build it>>





Sold it to Florida and OK.

Good Luck to Fab./Pipe Benders.. Make sure your arms stronger to do it
