Default Roll cage for 97 LT1 camaro vert

Hey guys anyone have a vert with a cage? I need one to run at some tracks around here and would like one for overall safety. I have been looking online and I can't find anything good for a vert. Anyone make their own or find one online anywhere? Pics would be great!

Wolfe does not make a roll cage for convertables.I have searched
and could not find one.I am in the process of buying Erics from midwest chassis
that he removed from his car.11.99 you need a roll cage for a convertable.
You will probably have to get a custom made cage(not cheap)

Why can't you buy the Wolfe 6pt convertable kit and then the front half kit to make it a 10pt? Isn't the only diffeence from convertable and hardtop the rear down bars?

Why would you put a cage in a vert? There ugly for one and cages are for racecars not cruisers like a vert. If you car is too fast for the track then you have a pretty stout DD. but your money is better spent on buying a hard top car works if you want to go fast

Tell that to this guy:

Or do a search for George Baxter.

A Convertable Main hoop is about an inch narrower than a hard top hoop.
My first roll bar was ordered through a local shop and they ordered a roll bar for
a hard top. nobody in 1995 made a convertable roll bar.

Thanks Ramair for showing me how to make a vert z28 the ugliest car ever. All that bar just defers the entire purpose of a vert. And I understand that some want to do different things. Just not my cup of tea and I hate everything about making a vert a race car. Sorry just mu opinion.

No problem. I just finished putting together the tubular front end on the car last night (that's actually me in the picture).

From the outside with the top up it looks just like every other Z28 convertible. It might not look like a million bucks with the top down, but it's going to surprise a ****-ton of people, especially for being a convertible!
