65 AC Cobra roll bar installation
We just picked up a 65 AC Cobra kit-car. Its nice but it needs roll bars.
We are considering (even tho it isnt vintage) either dual 3point setups or one 4point that covers both seats. Anyone know what something like this might run? Or a decent shop in the Vancouver Wa area that could do this?

Find a race chassis fab shop. If you plan on taking the car to a track for drag or road/autox there are rules on tube size and location, and they'll know what it is. Plus the rules from sanctioning bodies are based on safety, and aren't arbitrary (usually), so having bars fabbed to those specs will result in a roll bar system that does what it's supposed to.

We dont plan to race her, more like a weekend cruiser, but I would prefer racecar grade safety for me and my wife. Already has a nice 5 point harness on both seats but this thing scares me without the bars.
Race chassis fab shop. Thx for the advice

Not sure which kit you have but Factory Five sells Cobra rollbars. They are 2" - .120 wall DOM tubing, which is pretty much what you'd expect to see in a custom rollbar.

You could go to a race chassis shop as suggested or perhaps even a 4-wheel drive fabricator if you have one near you.
The R&D has already been done on the Factory Five rollbars so you may want to look into them first.

This is her. Shes got a 351W roller motor with dual holleys, 4 speed top-loader and 3.73s. Fun as hell to drive, but scared to push her without rollbars. Not sure what kind of kit. How can I find out?
