verts need a 6 point roll bar (13.99), swing out side bars are legal. don't know what you mean by removable bars. some people want a removable bar across the back sit, not nhra legal. jig notching makes the bars much easier to weld together ( save you time ). I drive a 2002 vert and ordered weld in mild steel 6 point from wolfe with swing outs, you can get weld in or bolt in. both are nhra legal

No, you sure don't. Jig notching only applies to weld-in cages.

Also, they changes the rules about two years ago and dropped 'verts to 13.49. Even though that really doesn't really matter, because most of us can run that in stock trim
