[DeTomaso] roll bar /roll cage question

you don't need no stinkin' cage. Art survived with no cage ;-]> 
Yea I know he's 3 inches shorter then he used to be but that is another story.
BUT if you think you need a roll bar or cage then you probably do.
Don't be a socialist - just kidding

Dick Drenske's cage is a very nice affair and is removable.  The  
firewall you have to deal with by creating a two-piece cover.  You can  
do this yourself or buy a kit from someone.  Kirk Evan is gearing up  
to do another run of two piece firewall covers, so you might give him  
a call right away and put your name on a list.

For what is worth, for everyday driving I don't really think you need  
a cage.  If you plan on any spirited driving, then okay.  I think the  
Pantera actually has a pretty decent crash reputation, at least  
front/rear, side impacts are always worse.

It all depends on what you want to do.
