Default Frame Question

I am looking into a project and wanted to see if anyone has pictures of the "roll bar" chassis. I wanted to see what is behind the trim panel and also looking for the technical term for this section of the chassis.

It is not very hard to remove. I think it is 6 push pins for top piece.

If you give me your email, I will send you a copy of the shop manual interior.

I like to tinker. I have made a few roll cages. that would not be its purpose. more of a free harness bar/partition or something. My friend is doing weight reduction on his car so i looked at it and though hmm that may fit in my car. No purpose or funtion was given.

Got it! A harness bar would be much lighter.

Dont care about weight. I made a harness bar out of aluminum 80/20 and turned out pretty cool but this is free and different.
