Try Rhodes Custom Auto 302 378 1701 ask for Ron

 

Cant you buy a bolt in that you could install in that cool garage you got

 

i guess, whats the lightest one i can get? pcv pipe lmao

 

This is probably the lightest and one of the best....

60-65 lbs

They also have a bolt-in version, but weld-ins are so much better and they do a better job of strengthening the chassis also.

If you need someone to do the installation, I would have to recommend Jeff at 1st Try Engineering...."bigblockelcamino" on here. He can weld out the ***!!!

 

I have a 6 point custom chromoly with swing-outs and powdercoated done by Performance Auto Fabrications...I can give Tyson a call to see if he's still doing roll bars and cages...His work is top notch and fit and finish far exceeds any off the shelf bolt in/weld in kits. The rear down bars actually come down on rear shock towers which also helps the suspension hit the rear tires harder and eliminates any flex back there. You also don't have to cut up your sail panels to fit the rear bars like some kits. I think it was 60lbs total. You really have to see how he does the swing outs as there are two versions, the one I have is way less obtrusive than the other when you take out the side bars...You really have to see it in person.. And its good to 10.0s.

Hey please edit the original post. You dont need a roll bar! You need a cage. Rumor has it you were trapping above 132mph????? And I believe that was your first trip to the track. Just an FYI once you go over 134.99 you need a full cage... So why bother dumping the money into a roll bar? If you plan on using the car at the track buy a 10point cage. At the MPH you are at now a Roll Bar is almost wasted money... IMHO

 

**** **** **** well my best mph was 133.82

 

opps time to dig up that old brief case lol

 

i also vote for Tyson at PAF

 

Oops yeah I didn't catch your mph...Either way Tyson does excellent work. He can do any cage configuration you want. Even his 8 and 10 point stuff is fairly unobtrusive...You were at Keith's Pit Stop when Will's black SS was there, that cage is Tyson's work along with a custom net and net brackets...And if Tyson isn't up to it I bet, looking at Brian's (Fireball's) work, he'd be up to the task. He reconfigured the cage Tyson originally did for his car...

Do yourself a favor. Get a 10 point cage unless you plan on going slower in the future. Also don't do what I did and try to save the dash. Put the damn bars through it, otherwise it sucks to get in and out of!

 

ok already went 135.43mph so i need a 10 point!!! whats the average cost of a 10 point and who is the man for the job? thanks again aj

 

If you want the best. www.RhodescustomAuto.com Not cheap and prob a 2 month wait but his **** is a work of art.

 

I agree there i checked out there shop when I was ready to tub my camaro.. very nice shop and top notch work!! My 69 was done by Kens Kustom Chassis in Reading... very nice shop as well and great guys..

 

Just bring that phucker over here... I got a couple deep cycle batteries laying around... We can put pos/neg cables together and make something work.. I am sure there will be an arch of some sort..

 

first on your car then my car deal!!!

 

+1...

 

Precision chassis does great work also and won't break the bank to much.

 

Tyson and Fireball did mine (weld in). Wasn"t very expensive but only 6PT. Just do a 10pt with swingouts on both sides and be done with it...
