The reason I have some many pics is I am tring to find someone to make the red one for my car, but that has been very hard to do here in Nashvillle, nobody will touch a street car. :mad :mad
I agree, the red one looks really goog. Even looks like you could get the top in there too. Thats the one thing I want in a roll bar; that is after saving my life. If you find someone, be sure to let us know. :cheers:

You are correct, the red one does allow you to put the top in the back. That is why I am trying to find one or make one do I can keep my top in the car just in case.

Patrick,

You should consider the Brey-Krause fire extinguisher mounting bracket that mounts to the drivers seat. I think it is only around $50 and you will definitely be able to get to it. BTW, the rollbar looks great! :)

I love the look of a rollbar especially when not saving your life they make your car more rigid. :cool:

Was thinking the same when I saw the pic of the fire extinguisher location. I would just mount the fire extinguisher on the middle support unless that's where your next mod will be mounted. :D

The roll bar / color is very :cool:

Got a few more :D on the computer, I don't remember where you got yours, was it used and if not where did you get it and how much was it????The reason I have some many pics is I am tring to find someone to make the red one for my car, but that has been very hard to do here in Nashvillle, nobody will touch a street car. :mad :mad I made the camera bar like you did last year and it worked great (thanks again for ripping that roll bar padding off again) :cheers: :cheers:

It's a Doug Rippie rollbar, here's a pic. It's $545.95 ... I bought mine for $350.00 ....
