Default Roll Cage pics?

I'll be caging my car soon. Im thinking either a 6 point or 8 point. Either way it will be constructed of chromoly and have swing outs. Any body have any pics of an FRC with a cage?

Here's a few pics of my '99 FRC with a 6-pt. cage and removable door bars. The 2nd pic shows where the front of the door bar ties into the chassis.

You mean a REAL cage or just some pipes welded in?










Roll cages in cars do not make very good DD or street use.

Swing out door bars are questionable for safety. and why many race organizations no longer allow swing out door bars
