That's over a grand in Ca. Maybe I paid $500.00 for the installation and $300.00 for the hoop and pipe. The guy that installed it Tig welded it and bent the rest of the pipe to fit like I wanted it. $800.00 total. You gotta watch that California Inflation!!!  ------------------

Hard question, I used to do it for around 450. This was bent to the car & was out the door. This was NOT how I put bread on the table just used it to help feed the appetite of my race car. You will just have to shop around.

I was including the cost of materials. I wouldn't do the whole job for less than a grand including materials. When I did the roll bar in the '66 it was a full day of labor for two of us and it was just a fully welded in roll bar kit with a pivoting door bar. The full cage with the front bars through the dash would be considerably more labor. BTW labor in CA is about $90/hr, SteveW

Yeah,My local Ford dealer is charging 95/hr. But it isn't cheap to live here in the BayArea either. $350,OOO will buy you a little starter home, and gas is 1.69/gal for 87 octane. SteveW
