Roll bar is finished...for now
I still need to get the padding and tape and also obviously finish the cutouts in the decklid. After the cutouts are finished I will paint about the first 6 inches of the decklid semigloss black. Should clean it up nicely. The tabs are for some lexan plates in the near future. The whole thing weighs about 25 pounds...maybe 20.
I have yet to drive it as it is over 90 degrees out and too hot for me. But I am pretty sure it will stiffen up the frame some.

That looks really nice! Did you build it or buy it? If you built it, nice work! If you bought it, where can I get one?

Very nice looking, if you were to market those you could make a mint.

Nice work Chris. How exactly did you attach it to the frame if I missed it? I think what all of vert owners dread are cutting things up to make a rollbar work and you confirmed it.
