Who makes a good easy (or some what easy) 8 point roll cage for our cars??

[thunderace31]

I did a search and came up with nothing
I am looking for a good 8 Point roll cage (would prefer a removable side bar also) for my T-type with T-Tops. Bar will be welded in also.
Hopping this will stiffen things up a bit.
I have found some universal types but would prefer something that will be a little easier to put in the car.

anyone have any ideas
A buddy said Wolfe Race Craft but they dont have one for the Regals

Thanks for your help

I installed a kit from S & W race cars over the winter. It took a little cutting/grinding to get a good fit but I was very happy with it. They sell a swing out option & a pro street rear strut option. I went with neither but had the rear struts bent locally to go through the package tray(they come straight). I've seen quite a few custom bent kits that dont fit as well.

i have an S&W 10 point cage insatlled in my car. i think that any "kit" you buy will still have to be cut, bent and notched to fit perfect. it took 2 days to install mine, and this was done by a professional fabricator and welder. i got the bars that go through the package tray as well. i think that even if you go with a mild steel setup it should be TIG welded. better control of heat, cleaner, better penetration. the welds on mine looked like a work of art. a freind bought a comp engineering 8 point kit that has the 1 3/4 bars. the size of the bars just seems extremely large and obtrusive. i like the 1 5/8 bars. i have pics in the link below. jeremy

Don't know how to do a link but address is www.swracecars.com

Am trying to attatch photos.

Can't do it. Pictures are too large I guess?

Is there an easy way to shrink picture size?

I got the photos! Looks great!
Thanks for all the info guys!

One more question what did they Fab guy charge to put your bar in??

did you use the Chromoly tube or the Standared??

Dont think I am going past the 8 point for as I drive this thing to much in the summer hence the want or need for the removable side bars. Problem is someone told me the removable side bars are not legal at the track??
Anyone hear this before??

Thanks again
Derek

The fab guy was me with a chop saw, die grinder and plasma cutter. Never done anything like this before & it was relatively easy. I got the kit under the winter special (mild steel) for $140 plus $90 freight and had the rear struts bent locally for $20. I didn't install the kickers so I only have a six point. A friend welded it in for me so all in all I have about $250 in it as opposed to the $1300 I was quoted for a mild steel custom install. Swing out door bars are legal I beleive as long as they have a certain type of latch. The way I fit the main hoop the top seat belt bolts would not go in but you probably need harnesses anyways.
