i would order one from speed inc. a wolfe one. they fit very well, and come powder coated.
if you you want one welded in, go to my guy, he does great work. but you would have to paint it after, or have it painted.

I want a weld in with the door pins so I can still get in and out of it easy. its just a thought for right now. If its not sold in a litlte bit, it'll prob go in after the mustangs are finished.

DMC Racing in Mass is the place to go. Those guys do krazy work. Anything from mounting a seat to a full blown 25.5 cage or back halfing a car. I can get the number id you want it.

Not sure where you are located but I had mine done at Precision Chassis in Reading, PA. They did a great job welding in the 6-point with swingouts for around $900.

I highly recommend them. They installed mine in a manner that I could still use my T-top storage and did a great job putting back in the carpet. I am not sure if they paint the rollbar for you because I forgot to ask. I carefully painted mine after the install with Rustoleum high gloss black paint and a foam brush. If you want pics of my rollbar to get an idea of their work, send me an email at laurabello1@aol.com and I will gladly send you pictures.
