got the roll bar in the mail yesterday. got it all test fitted today. I was pretty happy with the fit. I gotta pull it back out, paint it with bedliner coating and have my buddy mike weld it in. movie car ![http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1958/img1405y.jpg](http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1958/img1405y.jpg) mine, however unlike the movie car the cage in my car is mandrel not crush bent and I will be tying it into the rear wheel tubs making it a 4 point cage as opposed to the standard shelby 2 point. ![http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/6033/img3332s.jpg](http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/6033/img3332s.jpg) ![http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/7276/img3330q.jpg](http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/7276/img3330q.jpg) the rear bars which still have to be notched. ![http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/9955/img3331f.jpg](http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/9955/img3331f.jpg) ---

Your cage looks 10X better than movie car. The movie car looks like it has exhaust pipe bent up and welded in it. ---

I had painted my roll bar satin black originally. It was very bland and looked like too much of an after thought. So I tried some bedliner coating that I had left over from the fenders. ![http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/425/img3335n.jpg](http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/425/img3335n.jpg) ![http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/4383/img3333s.jpg](http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/4383/img3333s.jpg) while it came out good I wasn’t so sure I liked it so I slept on it and decided I wasnt happy with it. so back to ground zero ![http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/2315/img3336i.jpg](http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/2315/img3336i.jpg) after 3 trips to the store and a couple hours later I found something that had the right luster and texture. It took forever to get it right but im pleased with the way it came out, it looks very OEM. ![http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/1218/img3342c.jpg](http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/1218/img3342c.jpg) ![http://img815.imageshack.us/img815/4861/img3339r.jpg](http://img815.imageshack.us/img815/4861/img3339r.jpg) ![http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/6258/img3340r.jpg](http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/6258/img3340r.jpg) installed ready to be welded in. ![http://img602.imageshack.us/img602/2936/img3345l.jpg](http://img602.imageshack.us/img602/2936/img3345l.jpg) ![http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/7705/img3346g.jpg](http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/7705/img3346g.jpg) ---

LOL that is the exact same stuff I chose to repaint my harness bars in this year. It really does look almost like it belongs with the black interior once you install it ---

got the rear interior panels all test fit and trimmed for the roll bar. I also fiberglassed a couple holes where the screws pulled through. Once that’s all done I can clean everything up, paint it, and install the rear courtesy lights. ![http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/8379/img3353.jpg](http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/8379/img3353.jpg) ![http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/3985/img3352j.jpg](http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/3985/img3352j.jpg) ![http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/5985/img3351ku.jpg](http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/5985/img3351ku.jpg) ---
