Can anyone guide or point me in the direction of re-installing the stock interior after installing a roll cage ,really need to know what tools and tips to use for making the holes for the roll cage to pass through the interior plastics ,basically the one at the side under the quarter glass ,need to get it as neat and small as possible
Any help or guidelines will be greatly appreciated

A hole saw, a dremel, some templates and patience. If you want to be super gay, you can put some type of piping around the holes so it doesn't fray and a look all shitty and makes it look like you gave a fuck.

I haven't done what? I've welded in cages in well over 100 cars and at least a dozen of my own including the re-installation of panels and dashes. You start with a small hole cut and get the edges you want with a dremel. This isn't rocket science but if you want some fucking idiot to give you 'better' advise, fire away. Can't wait to see your fucked up result because the easiest and correct solution isn't good enough for you.

Maybe he misunderstood piping as metal and not rubber/fabric. Other than that, I don't really know what type of stupid drug he's on to assume that the answer I gave him was wrong.

if you want to install your interior AFTER installing a roll cage your going to have to cut your interior up a bit to fit around the cage. From what it sounds like you want, you should have had your fabricator cut the holes, put the pipes through the interior and then weld the cage in.
Way to start a thread and shit on great advice tho.

This is generally why I'm no longer stretching out to help anyone anymore. Stupid shit like that is the reaction. Out here trying to help the people and automatically shit on.

What you're looking for is referred to as "spoon feeding".

There's plenty of people who have done this installation. It is literally trial and error.

Buy some cheap interior trim panels and use them as reference. Cut those up without having to worry about getting it right the first time. Then, once you get the dimensions as close as you possibly can, transfer that over to your own personal interior trim panels.

No one is trying to be an asshole here. We don't know what type of cage you have. Most people who install bolt-in cages still don't have the same specs and this is coming from someone who has owned dozens of S-chassis with bolt-in cages.
