Thanks Pete, I agree. Your roll bar is lookin' good . We just finished cutting the holes out for our roll bars so I can sympathize with you concerning that uneasy feeling that comes over you when it's time to cut holes in a nice body--despite remeasuring two or three times . I agree with you that the rear legs are quite tricky to cut. I used a laser pointer and traced the outline it made as I moved it around the circumference of the top receiver. That worked really well but the hardest part was making the cutouts inside the trunk to allow the bar to pass through. Your bars pass through the trunk in about the same location as mine. To seal it off I just layed up some cloth on a piece of 3-1/2" pipe and then cut and fit those pieces to the trunk. Turned out pretty nice, only took about an hour per side, and the price was right . I plan on carpeting my trunk anyway, so I just wanted a good seal. Aluminum covers could be made the same way and would certainly look nice!

Mike
