10-Point Roll Cage without modifying dash Hey guys, I will be needing a 10 point roll cage for my 99 Trans Am with T-tops, I will be hitting 9's if the tune is good. Does anyone know of a sponsor that would sell a 10 point Chromoly roll cage but that does not require modifying my dash? Ill be giving Wolfe Craft a call once I get off of work to see if they can custom make me one. I have seen a few cars and trucks out there that the bar that goes through the dash instead goes straight down, makes a little curve around halfway door/dash level and goes diagonally down to floor below the dash.
Thanks Guys, Alex

Here's a pic of the dash area of an 8.50 full cage we installed in a customers car. You can't see the pillar bars or halo from the side and the pillar bars don't contact the dash itself, just the plastic extension panel.
Probably been asked before but what is the weight difference for the MWC 10 pt chrome moly vs mild steel? Also, I'm assuming the POR15 treatment is pretty much mandatory for both?
FYI to all here... an 8pt cage is NHRA legal to 8.50 quarter mile. Almost daily I get people inquiring about "10 point" roll cages. Even for that matter a 6 point full cage is legal to 8.50 in a car with a full OEM frame(i.e. 65-72 Chevelle, 70-87 Monte Carlo-Malibu).
Chromoly vs mild steel in a 8.50 legal cage is usually about 20 pounds difference. A mild steel roll bar/cage can be MIG or TIG welded, anything chromoly has to be TIG welded only.
