you know any one good the biggest thing is i want the roll bar tucked away as much as possible and im going all out with the motor and tranny i was just thinking why not if you guys know any one good let me knew the more i save the better
Well a good paint job can be in the 3-4k range and going to a shop like that I can see it being more, Plus wouldnt all that stuff just be fiber wrapped? I could see spending that much at a place like that

If you are putting a rollbar in it you had better never put a carseat for a little one in the back... That is the most ignorant, irresponsible and negligent thing ANY PARENT could ever do to thier kids...
If you don't know, or haven't thought it through, a rollbar is MEANT TO BE USED WITH A HELMET!!!
Sorry, no matter what you do to the rollbar, it is a bunch of sprung tubes of steel in an acident. If you get in an accident they become dangerous pieces that WILL cause head injuries to everyone in the car.
I contemplated putting a rollbar in my car, decided against it since I wanted my kids to ride in it... Hell if you drive the thing on the street without a helmet you are taking the risk of loosing your life if you get in an accident, no two ways about it.
A rollbar/cage keeps you safe in an accident while wearing a helmet and while strapped into a 5-point harness. It it NOT meant to offer any sort of protection on the street without a helmet, no two ways around it.
Sorry, just pointing out some facts of rollbars/cages that MOST people ignore and just try to not think about... It is like a set of slicks and skinnies, great on the track, poor on the street...
Also, like you, I decided to keep my T/A forever, so I put well over $100k+ into it, big motor, blower, nitrous, S60 rear, full custom suspension, then in went the $30k+ stereo and custom interior, ever custom thing you can think of and a ton no-one else has done... But, I kept it a street car, even with over 1000hp, it has no cage... I take two of my kids for a ride at a time, wife cruises in the Z28 convertible with the other two... So it can be done, just keep it realistic...

idk about all that.......not trying to be a dick.....but if you have a wreck and it destroys the roll cage either A: it was a real shitty cage, built wrong and welds are poor....or B: the crash was so bad youd be dead anyway
