Pictures of the finished roll cage

[norvalwilhelm]

My son powder coated the roll cage over the Christmas holidays. I had to first install the dynamat and the new carpet to bolt it in. I did it this past weekend with my wife's help. She has a goose ege on the head to prove she helped out.
This is a overall shot of the roll bar.

This shows the lower side bar and the upper one, the lower one is fixed and the upper is pinned and opens with the door.

This shows the fit next to the Tee roof. I kept is as tight as possible so from the side the bars do not show. I also didn't want any bars showing in the windshield. One blower is enough of an obstruction.

This is with the door open, the dynamat is already down but I am waiting for a foam to be used as an absorber before installing the carpet.
The dash is also out revealing the electronics for the car.

:L Awesome it is then! :L

I see you have the carpeting nicely finished around the cage. I have to go back into mine and "tidy it up" some; I hacked it up pretty bad when I re-installed my carpeting after the bar install. It was new carpeting too. :cry

My carpet is brand new. With the standoffs you just cut a small slot in the carpet and pull it over the standoff and later when you bolt the cage in there are no cut marks whatever. The standoffs just seem to grow out of the carpet.
I have about $300 in the carpet, another $200-$300 in the insulation. I don't want to screw it up.

It looks fantastic Norval. You did a great job of making it "blend" into the interior. I can't wait to see pics of the car from outside with all the doors closed. The cage should be nearly invisible. Too cool.
