RE: Lets see those roll cages
Here are some pics of mine. I had it done at Hot Rod Chassis, Addison Illinois by Kevin Tulley. He is a magician with tig and mig welding. He had it back to me in two days.
I did a 6-point chrome moly with all points fully welded (no pin-outs) because Kevin highly recommended it with a rag top.
My painter gave the roll bar a few coats of matching black, striped the main hoop and clear coated it. My car has virtually no tortional flex at launch due to the added rigidity of the rollbar. I added some SFI padding on the sidebars so the wife doesnt get too bruised up hopping over the side bar.

Sessler Ford, where I ordered my car didmy blower and no warranty BS either.
They do any of the major kits (KB, Vortech, ProCharger, Saleen, Whipple) and the drivetrain technician there is a long-time fox body drag racer. They also installed my gears, exhaust and Level 10 transmission. They are an old SVT dealer and they even have done automatic to 5-speed conversion and other out of the box mods for customers. Talk to Joe Anderson , the Sevice Manager for pricing.
How did you know where I live?
I am in Buffalo Grove, Il north of Chicago

RE: Lets see those roll cages
I pad mine because it gets so hot down here, any exposed metal becomes too hot to touch, and heats up car interior. Also due to my age and loss of flexibility (not to mention gut), I had to opt for swingouts. My girlfriend climbs over, I only tried it once (ouch!!!). Mines 8 point and I lost the rear seats. It's nice that zkiller could keepa pre-cageinterior, better for sound insulation too. My interior is pretty much gutted and it's only going to get worse
