Now that I've got the body bolted back to the frame, it's time to put the roll bar in. I put pilot holes in the floor and trunk before I rolled the shell rightside up. So I wouldn't cut any more than I had to. I put the main hoop in and welded it to the frame. I used re-bar to make the shape for the two bars that go into the trunk. Dropped them off at a local metal shop to have them bent correctly.
