I just had a six point done in my 94. The guy who did it didn't have much trouble with it. He builds tube chassis cars for dirt track guys so he is used to welding obviously. He said the hardest part was finding the metal frame to weld to. He got it up very close to the top at the window and by the halo but you can still take the top in and out.

He was going to charge 100.00 to paint it before he did the final install but I figured I could do it. Probably one of the worst ways to save a couple of bucks. Painting the cage AFTER it is in the car is no fun at all.

any pictures of the install?
Thanks Jamie

Yes but I'm trying to remember how to post them on here. I've got them on Photobucket but don't recall the rest of the instructions on how to get them on here. I'll have to do a search and read the directions again.

Maybe this will work for pics. Lot of finish work to be done. Aluminum dashpad, interior door panels, trim plates where the rear bars connect to the frame, etc. And of course, clean up the paint mess I made.

What do you want to know, I made and installed my own, it was not hard other than cutting up my car the first time.

do you have a picture of where you mounted the rear angled sections of the bar?

I am a little concerned. I bought an autopower bar off a guy on ebay and then found out it a bar for a vert and not a coupe. He assures me that it will fit. I hope so. Should be here on wed. I gutted the back ouf the car in preperation let hope all is well

Thanks Aaron. Now I just have to get the rest of it back together before the first event this weekend. The parts are "supposed" to be here Thursday afternoon.

Cutting it a little close with having to get an alignment done too.

Here is a pic of the rear support mounting point

Thanks guys it looks like I just have a bit of cutting and then visit the welder. I just hope that the vert bar fits the coupe. Anyone have any ideas on this?
thanks Jamie

No Go

Thanks for the images folks...some different ways of doing it than I've seen before.

has anyone bolted there bar in? whats the thoughts on that?

jwt1603

IMHO, for looks, bolt in is OK. For safety, weld in. Just my two cents.

I'll be needing a 6pt down the road, but I really want to keep it streetable, so I'm thinking swingouts, which are for HPDE's but not W2w

thanks J

I bolted mine in. I used Nutserts in the frame rails. The only problem you might encounter is getting all the holes properly aligned. It's one of those measure/mark three times and then drill. Remember, you won't get a second chance if you screw it up.
