Default Roll bar

Hey Guys,
Does anyone have a roll bar or a roll cage on their classic Mustang? I am seriously considering putting one on my 68' coupe.
i have a couple questions.
Would the roll bar get in the way of interior?
What does a roll bar actually do?
Are they easy to install?

thanks for any help, questions or comments, good or bad, they are all appreceiated, thank again.

EoC has one. it depends, there are some little ones that have the rear seat easy to get into and some you cant use the rear seat. roll bars are for protection. if you get in an acciden and roll, this bar will help not crush you, think of it as an interior frame

you have to weld them in, so if your good at welding, yes they are, if your not, tough luck

hang on a sec here are some big pics. my parents like it for saftey, i like it cuz i can mount my 4 point simpson harnesses from the bar to over my shoulders, im going to be getting a cross bar (makes it so no oone can get in the back seat but is stronger) but ill modify it so i can take it in and out for that reason. and it looks cool IMO. pics to come. ill get better ones tomarrow heres what i have. look closely along the roof line inside and by the seats.

you can see the bar infront of the side mirriors going up to the roof, and the big black things comming down over the seats are the harnesses.

besides the obvious pretection that it offers, cages stiffen up the body(depending on the one your using) which will improve handling and such
