Cool Installed Wolfe 4pt Roll Bar in my 'Vert!

Well, I installed my bolt-in Wolfe Race Craft cromoly 4 point roll bar w/removable crossbar in my 'Vert last weekend! Looks bad *** too.

Wolfe Race Craft - Detail

Took a while since instructions provided cover welding and bolt-in plus coupe and convertible, so there was a lot of discovery. It sure further stiffened up my 'Vert and helped out at Road America track last weekend!

I will post pictures up soon as an install guide. Here's the teaser photo from the WI Road America track in the meantime.

Ok, enough delay, photos are here, and more to come...

The first step, bolt to factory 4 bolt seatbelt mounts, minor carpet cutting required:



Installed rear supports:



Test fit:



Floor holes marked, carpet cut, four holes drilled:



Under car plates secured:



Complete from the rear:

^ Thanks -- wish I would have cut the carpet a little different, but after installed you never see it behind the seats. I only added it after it was required for convertibles to participate in a High Performance Driving Event at Road America. Yes, rear seat is usable with the crossbar removed (good thing I got the removable one), but I need some padding on the bars over the seats. The rear seats do need to be removed during the install. Also note the coupe install varies a bit from the 'Vert. one. See this for the coupe:
Roll Bar Install, F-Body (Camaro, Firebird, Trans Am) - Wolfe Race Craft

Vert:
