Thread: convertible question ?

thanks teck i was looking at it also to give a little bit more protection to anyone in the car if you are hit on the side. i realise a hard t bone would probably be fatal but just a city fender bender accident may be helped by a reinforced door bar.
i have already changed the down tube design to go right down to the bottom of the frame kickup directly behind the body, this also gives a little side protection and allows me to have the hoop little wider.
I gots big shoulders and needs all the width i can get.
it looks like its going to work and i am planning on overbuilding past the nhra specs with gusseting and some exta tube bracing .
I keep thinking i am building a roll bar that guys put inside a regular car body and have the ability to compound the rollover protection of the cars roof structure and the roll bar,
Ive just got the bar so i better get it right the first time
