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.

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:
