It's in!
My S/T Frame Support from R-D Racing that is. Not hard at all due to an excellent product with good instructions. It's more of a PITA to get the back part of the interior out than it is to fit the roll bar. Even that's not bad if you've done it before. All that's really necessary is to remove the rear carpeting and insulation, the seats and the top. Locate the holes with the provided templates and cut them out. The front locates onto an integral bulkhead, no cutting necessary there. It's bolted in for now, tomorrow I'll drive it around and decide if I want to go ahead and weld it in. Then I'll seal up the holes permanently and be done with it. Welded in it becomes SCCA legal as a roll bar. This thing is

I'm really looking forward to meeting Dave one of these days. I've talked to him on the phone quite a few times and have always enjoyed doing so. I'll be talking to him again in the next few days re/ some tips he's offered on something else I'm doing. Not only does he create great products with quality and pride in workmanship as his first concern, but he strikes me as the kind of guy who raises the curve as to what Corvette brethren should be.
