I made the bar flat with bolts ontop then come down and attach to the adapter plate for the bus transaxle. It was easy to do and bade it a lot stronger and took some stress off the fiberglass where it mount to the roll cage down tubes. I just sandwiched the body for the mount on the top. |

Wow!! Love the detail work - the chrome suspension pieces look fantastic! Great use of HF dollies as well - I was thinking of using those in my own garage for the same purpose.

VERY sweet!! Love the color!
Impaleale, I was wondering how that bar braced thru the body worked out? I was going to do that with my rear roll bar set up but thought the little bit of flexing that could occur could crack the body, so I went thru it and used an intake manifold grommet to space it. Worked perfect. Have you seen any cracks or drawbacks? |
