I was just wondering if anyone makes a bolt-in rollbar for Mustang 'verts that is easily removable and will make your car legal for the strip. I can't stand the way they look, but you need one if your 'vert runs better than 13.99s.

Bolt-in isn't legal. Gotta weld 'em and weld 'em good.

Actually, you can bolt them in as long as you have a 6 x 6 plate sandwhiching the floorpan.

Pricy for sure.... But the best fit, finish, & quality without having a shop custom bend a unit just for you......

I belive if I had a vert i wold want my roll bar left in. Our good friend Anthony who posted above me is still withus today because the seat broke in his vert. Otherwise he wold have taken an F150 to teh back of teh head.

NHRA rules changed, partly because factory cars like 03/04 cobras were running hi 12's, low 13's off the factory, and they don't come from the factory with roll bars.

I believe the new nhra law is 11's for a vert, but you'll have to check up on that by reading the guidlines. In fact, just search google under convertible and nhra, and I'll be you'll find it.

That won't be a blanket rule but rather an exception for stock vehicles...

I think if I was racing a 'vert, i would want that roll bar arc welded in :lol: wouldn't want that thing to break....

Yes I know, MIG'ing would be way better for the application... shhh
