 I made my 5 point bolt in roll bar so I could remove it when the time comes, besides I wanted it powder coated.

I'd be surprised if you find anything more plug and play than the SWR kit. I have used an SWR kit in a Cutlass and it was pretty well done, but you're gonna have to weld no matter what. In another car, I had one fabbed and it cost about the same as buying a prefabbed cage and having it professionally installed and the fit was better.

 I just positioned the mounting plates and bolted them down first, then formed the loop to fit. From there I tacked the loop in place and worked from there. Once it was all tacked together the final welding was done outside the car. I'm sure Tony can help you do it, you may have to get someones help with the bending that has the equipment, I did. I took the car and tubing to a chassis shop, and paid him to help me create the pieces. I ordered all material from Applied Racing Technology.
