Re: roll bar pics (pats406nitrovette)
how did you move the fuel lines out of the way in order to weld the uprights to the frame? And if you are going to put on rear supports, will the fuel lines for those have to be moved also? If so, how...just push em out of the way?
Thanks
Chris

Re: roll bar pics (71roadster)

Re: roll bar pics (MikeC)
i have a bender but what i did was put a pipe in a pipe so it would bend without kinking its 1 3/4 pipe i then smoothed out the welds with polyester filler to look smooth.the main hoop has actually 2 pipes in it.."can we say very strong" if you look in second pic youll see the center sagging down a little when i bent it i couldnt get it back but back window is tinted anyway so youll never see it when its in.
