Yep, that's why had to show it to James. I remember talking to him about it a while back and he was wondering how to make one and still look good. This one looks like a light bar but is actually a roll cage. Made pretty solid too.

thats a 4 point. Will that be good for 10 seconds in the 1/4 mile, Or would you need a six point to come down at the doors?
That will not be legal.
why not
NHRA Rules
When do I need a roll bar or roll cage, and what should it look like?
A roll bar is required in any convertible running 13.49 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and in other cars beginning at 11.49. The roll bar is accepted in vehicles running as quick as 10.00 second e.t., provided the stock firewall and floorboard is intact, other than for installation of wheel tubs. The rollbar must be constructed of minimum 1 ¾ inch o.d. x .118 inch wall mild steel tubing, or 1 ¾ x .083 chrome moly tubing, and must conform to the following diagram:

good post orange
i still dont see why its not legal......it doesnt say you cant add anything to it. i say it makes it stronger. and it says a max 5" from the top so it can be closer. or.....am i completly missing something.
The point that I was trying to make is that it must be a 6 point roll bar. If you added the two front bars and everything else was to spec then I don't see the problem with integrating the light bar.
oh. thanks.........im not a mind reader the pic you posted only had 5 points......i had my cable cut off last week so i dont get espn anymore. lol
I will check it when I get home sub. Thanks.

NP, Yose.
Oh Daddy likes. I wonder who made it and where I can get one but in a 6 point version???????
I dont much care about the light for it either.

I'm thinking it was home made fabrication. It didn't look like it came from any manufacturer or at least professional one. I was looking at it closely and it looks like it was home made. But solidly made.

Its not a light bar like the one I have. It was made to look like the light bar. It has no light or anything. But a roll bar.
Oh yeah. I am sure it wouldnt be hard to add swing outs to that though.

No, I don't think it would be. Whoever made it, looks like did a pretty good job making it.
