Default Rollcage help !

I am installing a SW 10pt cage in a third gen camaro. The problem is, I currently don't have a headliner and need to know how far down from the roof I should cut the main hoop to allow the T-top headliner to install? Any ideas?

I'd start buy putting a headliner in the car before I went any further.

I left mine out when i did my cage and it was near impossible to get it back in. Do yourself a favor and put it in now.

ya, get whatever your gona run in the car now.


And if your going to run harness, and not use the stock belts. this is the time to get the seatbelts out. Some times the rear bars, and the hoop. block them so you can't get them out later.

The car is stripped pending cage and chassis welding.

If you are going to have it it will need to be put in first. Mine is in and I cant get the damn thing out without tearing it up.
