Default 8 point going in..pics

Having an 8 point chrome moly roll bar going in, being done at a local speedshop. Cage will painted and cleared to match the car(pewter metallic). Waiting on the door swingouts to finish getting the cage in place. Bars are just tacked at the moment.. Hopefully by the end of next week she'll be in the paint booth.. Here's some pics I took today, very impressed with the work that has been done so far..

All that stuff is out already. I would go ahead and do it. I plan on doing it myself on my car. I have MiniTubbed multiple Nova's and older Camaros. I used Detroit Speed kits and made my own. Very time consuming when trying to make it look good to.

I be a poor man at the moment.. Cage, paint and body work is costing a small fortune..
