I've been back and forth about adding a 4 point roll bar to my convertible. Curious what your rationale for it is?

I fell asleep at the wheel several years ago, then rolled a Mustang and it had a roll bar in it, Other than minor cuts I was okay. The convertible top offer no protection in a roll over. Plus it will add addition stiffness to the chassis and convertibles can use all the help they can get. That said I have no intention of getting into a roll over situation again.

I don't know if anybody noticed the 69 Camaro in the background that has a LT5 motor in it. Wish it was mine, but just sharing the shop with my car. I'm big fan of all 69/70 pony cars, but have only owned Mustangs.

Metal shop done with metal work. Added a little structural support to shock towers. Cleaned up the sheetmetal around them also. Back to Prestiges Motorsports for everything else. Moving forward.
