How much does the 6 point Chrome Moly bolt in weight as compared to the Mild Steel??? I am trying to justify the extra $$$ for the Chrome Moly... Thanks...

4 orders in so far.
I checked with Wolfe and was told that they only have the bars set up to go into the speaker/wheelwell area. Here is a picture of the bars installed in my '98. It's a 6 point bolt-in cage -
<img src="http://www.tbyrne.com/projectls1_files/nitrous.jpg" alt=" - " />
This car also has swingouts. I'd say that I've used them 3-4 times since the cage went in. I find it faster to just roll over the bar instead of pulling the pin and swinging the bar it after opening the door.
Jimmyz: This one is listed for $369.99 and shipping would be $75.
verbs: GP price for this cage is $324.99. Add $85. for the driver's side swingout and $55. for the removeable crossbar ($464.99 total).

Tom, straight from Wolfe's website is this pic
<img src="http://www.wolferacecraft.com/images/F-body%20photo/Roll%20Cage/fbcage-19.JPG" alt=" - " />
And these quote:
Below are photo's of our Over the Seat Rear bars. They are the same design for either the weld-in or Bolt-in
and
Rear Bars designed so as to not interfere with the limited rear space associated with the F-Body cars (Rear Bars that attach to flat floor area behind rear seat available)

We need 6 more by Monday for this one to go through. Phone lines will be closed for the weekend but orders can be placed on our website during that period. Someone will be in processing orders 1-2 days this weekend and I'll be on the board once in awhile.

Tom and everyone:
At one point we did only offer the rear bars going through the plastic and to the wheelwell. But, due to many people asking, we finally were able to set our jig up for the over the seat bars. The over the seat bars are available for both the weld-in and bolt-in roll bars and our roll cages. Also there is no additional cost for the over the seat bars in place of the standard bars(to the wheel well).
We also offer a straight style door bar. Basically it doesn't dip down for easier entry. The straight door bar still clears the arm rest, but is about 2-3 inches higher in the area it passes by the occupants. Again, there is no additional charge for substituting the straight style door bars for our standard (low slung door bars).
Hope that clears some things up.

verbs: I've seen a picture of that mounting point and also this one (same as mine) -
http://www.wolferacecraft.com/images.../Rollcage3.jpg
I'll try to get an answer about this. Wolfe told us that the mounting point is in the wheelwell/speaker area.
Q: I think I know who you are and will change this for you.

Well I can't figure out how to post the picture I wanted to show but on Wolfe's site the F-Body weld in bar photos, the rear bars go in way before the rear speakers. This may be a different model year car than maybe our LS1's but I don't know. Just a question.
