Ray 9 hours, Craig 5 hours;

247 hours, 32 days down, 58 to go

I thought I should set the body back on chassis so I could cut holes for roll bar, and fit the hood, and may as well install mirrors and all the other things that require punching holes in the body.

Here are a few shots of the installed roll bar.

Craig and I both are very pleased with the way it looks on the car.

Question: How much room should be left between roll bar and body or perhaps between the custom trim rings that will fit around the bar. How much movement is there between the fiberglass and the roll bar. I would like to only leave enough room the allow the trim ring to go on easily but that may not be enough.

We also got the hood aligned and completely installed, of course we know it has to come off again. but striker plate is good and should remain in place.


Happy Holidays to all.
