|
| I will post some pictures as soon as I figure out how to transfer pictures from my IPhone to my computer. Anyways, I started today installing my new roll bar from Maximum Motorsports. IT HAS BEEN A HUGE PAIN! The kit is very well constructed, and the instructions are mostly okay. There have been a few things like bolt size/ location that have been left out. I know I will be happy once I finish painting and installing it. But right now... not happy. Oh, and I'm a little bummed that I will never be able to have rear passengers again. I got the NHRA legal cage with the welded harness bar....there is no going under or over it to the back of the car unless you are a 5 year old or younger. I will keep you guys posted. |

good luck with the pic thing... I didn't know there was room for someone in the back seat anyway. I'm sure you will be happy with the finished product, just hang in there.

Looks good, but isn't it going to be covered up with foam?

NHRA Rules only say areas that your head may come in contact with. |

thanks man! Coming from a professional painter that means a lot. I ordered my subframe connectors at the same time, so with separate shipping for both( flsc-ups, cage- freight) it was a little over $800 for everything. The shipping for the cage was the killer at $140 to a business adress. |
