wanting rollcage ideas

[bigbadchev84]

Hey guys, I am going to be installing a rollcage/bar in the next couple of months.

I work at an electrical shop so I have a variety of benders and some experience in pipe bending/calculations. I am wanting a cage that I will be able to install some snaps on and run a bikini top that will cover the rear passengers also. Can I get some pics for inspiration/ideas?

My cage is Halo style cuz the top bar circles round to the back "main hoop", then you have two legs up front and two running back. I may add a rear halo to this cage for more rear protection.
Years ago I had an artical that covered the basic designs and different way to configure a cage.
Something I hope to never actually use

Here is what I did with mine.

Interior shots.

I plan on adding some more to the cage and body along with a tire carrier like in this photo-chopped picture:

This is perfect! I am wanting to go with something like this, Will your hardtop fit over it? Also do you know roughly how many feet of pipe you used?

Thank's, vt. Awesome pic's guy's! Still really looking for cage ideas! I have too many iron's in the fire, but am just about ready to bust it out of storage. Dad is just about finished with his 66 pontiac, and space will open up for my project! K5 to stay alive!

I don't remember how many feet of pipe we used. The main cage is 2" in diameter and we tied the seats in using 1-3/4". So far I have it tied to the frame in 4 places and eventually there will be 4 more.

Edit: Yes the hard top fits perfectly!
