Rollbar/cage?

[6togo]

Does anyone make a good fitting pre-made bar/cage? I want to add atleast a 6pt to help keeping the body and frame from twisting not really worried about the track it's mostly street driven.

s&w (spring city, PA) has a decent mild steel kit , hoop is prebent and fits good
its a kit .. all bars need to be welded tothe hoop and a roll bar on our cars should go through floor to the frame and be welded there too
order it with the pro bars to go through the package shelf or bend the ones they provide
i bent the door bars they provided a little to clear the lower door panel

Did the bar need much work to fit besides cutting the floor and doing swingouts be a problem?

Why not box the frame? Plenty of chassis rigidity to be gained, without having a roll bar in the car. A roll bar is a pain.

The frame is boxed,notched, and well braced but it will have 1000+WHP and if i ever want to take it to the track i will need something!

With that much hp you might be looking for a cage instead of a rollbar!

As stated above you need a cage, 1,000 whp is no joke.

However a cage on the street is a big no no but the small amount of drive time it will see i will not rule it out.
