Rollbar / Rollcage for a 2wd Blazer

Hey guys,

When I finally get around to doing my build, I will be installing a 6 point rollbar (at a minimum) into the truck.

The reason is twofold:
1) I will be carrying my family in this truck a LOT, with an without the top, and I want protection for them.

2) It should be a mid-high 11 second truck once it's all buttoned up, and I don't want to be getting kicked off the track for not having a bar...or worse case, not let on the track at all.

I talked to my local chassis / cage builder, who has a 9 second convertible camaro, and I love the way his looks.







We talked about putting a removable cross bar (behind the front seats) and removable door bars for track use.

MY QUESTION: Has anybody seen a rollbar / roll cage in a 2wd blazer, preferrably a slammed one? Did it look good? I have seen full rollcages in lifted 4x4 Blazers, and they look great in those, but the same cage on a Blazer street rod would look dumb IMO. Does anybody have an pics or ideas of what might look good, and function well??
