Default Wolf 6pt Install Pics, UPDATE 2/6/07 Finished

Install pic thus far

This is the bar, Wolf race craft 6 pt, cromo, with dr and pass swing out door bars.


This is what the 6pt is going in. 94 Z-28/SS








The main hoop, and rear bars are out of the car right now, i am taking them down and getting them TIGed tomorrow.


Has anyone powder coated there roll bar?? I know alot of you just spray paint them. But i was wanting something more durable. Since i have the swing out bars i can bolt them back to the main hoop, then all i will have to weld is what is under the carpet. But i dont know if the heat from the bottom welds will mess up the powder coat. I would just grind off a 1/2" so i could weld, but not sure how much heat will transfer up the tubes and crack the paint??

The old Rust-O-leum works great...It's cheap and durable. If you put it on right, it looks almost as good as powder coating and stands up pretty good as well.

Looks nice, makes me wish my car wasn't black so I could paint mine to match and have it look like that.

Im taking a que from some local builders and going to use rhino liner on my bar. I was told jokingly the only way to get the stuff off was to go down the track upside down, and even then it might still be on lol

On the first roll bar we did drop the tank, but on mine the welder didn't mind .. He welds for a living and he didn't go threw so no big.
