yesterday, i got the roll bar installed. I didn't like how the cut out looked on the rear interior quarters, so i got a sheet of aluminum and some scrap vinyl i had and riveted a little cover over it. once i paint the rivets black and clean the panels, it'll look pretty good.

How did you attach the front feet of the roll bar? It's hard to tell from the pictures.

Right now I only have the two outer bolts on. On the third hole, my long drill bit got too dull to cut, so once I get a chance to get to the hardware store, I'll but another long bit and put the other two bolts through the floor

Here's another picture update. With the crazy hours i have been working the past couple months, i haven't been able to get much done. I still have to do the wiring, the interior and get the engine bay put back together. but.. at least i'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. i've been keeping my fingers crossed that i put a good transmission in it. After i get that stuff done, i still have to figure out why it's sitting so high and have the front end aligned.

Love the lights in the grille! If you have time to take another pic I'd be curious how it looks from a lower angle.
Thanks,
