Ben, if you want to buy some cheap primer, I'll spray the roll bar once it's finished to keep the rust off.

I have some good etching primer that I'll spray it with.

I'm not that good, I'm just making a standard 8 point roll bar. It should be plenty strong for our car and engine combo.

Your doing a great job. Don't sell yourself short. Kudos.

I finished the rear bars tonight. The winds have been really bad out here so yesterday it took me 2 1/2 hours just to get one plate welded to the floor. I had to keep grinding down the weld and redo it because it was splattering bad. So if it doesn't look perfect tuff luck it still got good penetration. Also, I haven't welded the top of the bars to the main hoop for the same reason. I'll grind down what is there now and do them again.

I didn't take any pictures of the tubes while I was making them but all I did was measured the length that I wanted then used a 1 3/4 hole saw to cut the tube in half. That way I already had the notched ends. Then I cut them to length and angle cut the bottom with a saws all.

Here's some pictures from last night and tonight.

I finished the cross bar and seat belt mount on Saturday. Here are a couple pictures.

Sorry it's taking so long. I just got the second stick of tubing yesterday so I can start on the door bars and the main hoop supports. I'll start with the mian hoop supports tonight and see how far I get. I'm going to reinforce the area where they are going to be welded to the floor with some 3" plate first. I'll take some pictures as I go along.

You can see in this picture the area that I'm going to add plate to from the green arrow on the right and then what I plan on it looking like on the left. The plate I'm going to use is on the far right laying on the floor.

Ron,

You are doing a hell of a job!! Keep up the good work.

Thanks Adam. I worked on it for about 3.5 hours tonight. I finished the plates for the main hoop supports and got them welded in and I made one support bar and got it welded in. Here are some more pictures.
