S&W racecar rollbar

I was wondering if anyone was running one? And if does it fit nice and how do you like it? Does anyone have any pics of one installed? Right now they are running a deal, for an 8 point rollbar it would be like $110. $40 off the normal price. Any help would be great thanks.

The "kit" is basically a bunch of loose parts, that need some fitup and a lot of welding. I've seen some done that look great, others that leave something to be desired. Depends how good your fabricator is... or you if you are a welder.

I do welding and can fab. pretty good too. I really not to worried about that. I am concerned where the back bars fall. Are they going to be in the way of where my t-tops go or are they off to the side? That is why I was wondering how it fit. I want to keep my stock interior too.

I have one and I am happy with the fit. I installed it myself and used a tube bender to make the front and rear bars fit the way I wanted.

Basicaly, the only bar that is bent is the main hoop. The rear & door bars need to be bent to fit the way that you want. That being the case you can bend the rear bar to fit like the Wolfe set up, bend down to the shotck/spring pads or go back to the rear uni-body rails in the hatch.

I probably spent over 80 hours cutting, bending, notching & fitting to get the fit I wanted on all the bars.
