20.04.2007 The bar took 25 feet of 1¾"x0.12" mild steel tubing to make.		20.04.2007 The rear supports bolt on to the torsion box, so the rear seat needs to be lowered.
	20.04.2007 Side interior panels also need to be removed, although I'm looking for a way to modify them to fit with the bar.		20.04.2007 There's no room in the rear, but all the front space is infact, and the seats can be moved to the rearmost position if needed.
	20.04.2007 The bar is built to be higher than the driver's head in the helmet.		20.04.2007 Perhaps some netting can turn the bar into a windscreen to reduce the noise on the highway.
	20.04.2007 The main hoop of the bar is attached to the floor under the carpet.		20.04.2007 A close-up of the support bolted to the torsion box in the rear.
	20.04.2007 The bolt plates of the main hoop are shaped to follow the profile of the floor.		20.04.2007 The reinforcement plates under the car have a similar fancy profile.
	20.04.2007 The bar fully clears the foldable roof, following it closely to be as wide and tall as possible for maximum protection.		20.04.2007 With the roof and windows up, the car looks completely stock, unless you come really close and peek inside.
	28.04.2007 The bar on the ground. It's relatively easy to get in and out.		28.04.2007 The weight of the whole thing is 60 lbs.
