Default Cages for NBS trucks

I want to run some events that will surely require a cage. Anyone DD a caged truck? has anyone went through the roof above the glass for the bars off the top hoop? I can have the door bars "pinned" so they are removed for daily use right. In the early stages of this obviously. I did search. Not much on this site about cages. Guess you take it to a chasis shop and walla... your done.

Mine has rollbar and I remove side bars except for track use so there's no difference. Only thing That gets annoying Is 4 point harness but I found universal retractable 3 point seat belts I will be adding.

Like everybody said other than the door bars you would not even notice it..... now on a 69 Fastback where the halo was built just a touch too low you were fully aware for obvious reassons!
