Default MM Roll bar?

Anybody here have experience with the MM 6-Pt Roll bar as far as fitment goes? Looking at the MMRB-2. The absolute only reason I'm leaning towards their bar is it can be welded outside the car, and maneuvered in afterwards, and is a bolt-in installation. So if need be, for some odd reason I have to remove it to do something to my car at a later date, I can get the bar out of there without cutting it.

Personally NO experience with anything other than custom built cages, BUT I have heard nothing but good things about MM bars, from what I have been told the slip right in.

Perfect. Thank you, I ordered it today. Shipping was reasonable as well, only 160 to Canada. Hopefully it fits as well as they advertise it.

Before you buy, make sure the thing meets NHRA safety standards. Some bars that are on the market don't..........

No i did. That's the only reason I'm putting it in, I didn't want to as it's a semi-restoration car, but the car should run high tens and don't feel like making the trek up-to the strip and having them suspend me because I didn't have a roll bar. I'd rather have the weld-in bars on the sides, but if I ever have to work under the dash, or pull it out at that, since the car still is fuel injected, I don't feel like laying across the door bars. I think that would be just a little un-comfortable.

Oh I did, It's on order right now. She said it won't ship out until Monday, and should be here in about 5-6 days, so about 2 weeks and I'll have it essentially, as long as the border doesn't decide to use it as a ***** or something. But yah, I'll keep you informed on how it goes, it better go as easy as the instructions show it does... I wanna test drive my new combo

Shipped to Canada it was... 562 I believe, shipping was 160 which I found very reasonable considering the size and weight of the package. Assuming you're in the states you can probably knock a decent amount off shipping, so give or take 500 probably for you shipped. I got the MMRB-2 bar which has the swing out bars instead of the welded ones, so it was $50 more than the standard MMRB-1 with the welded bars. Depends on what you want.
