Talking Roll Bar Install Party

Hi Everybody! I recently bought robrob's old hard dog roll bar. I'd love to get it installed as soon as I can. I'm a little nervous about slicing into my car though! I was wondering if anybody with installation experience could help me install it later this month. We can make a meet out of it, as has been done in the past.

Ideally, it would be great to host this at somebody's house with a garage so we won't be out in the cold.

Any volunteers? I'll bring lots of beer, and be eternally grateful!

UPDATE:
This will be Saturday, Nov 20 at Oleg's house. I assume we'll pm details to whoever is confirmed when we get closer to the date.

You'll spend more time putting the interior plastic back in then bolting the bar in.

So I've been told. Should be.. fun

I'll do all the interior pieces before and after the actual install meet. I shouldn't need any help with that. Just me, a dremel, and a LOT of patience.

You'll want to fit the interior trim after the bar is in, not before.

It would be pretty hard to do it before the bar was in. Talk about guess work. Didn't mean to sound like that's what I was saying..

I will take the interior out before the install, and trim/reinstall after the bar is in.

What's he's saying is - don't do it the way I did it.

*sigh*

Did you mess up your pre-trimmed interior pieces?

I'm really busy the next few weekends. Nov 20-21 is free, or we could try to do something in early December.
I cannot do the 20th of november as of right now but I'm in depending on scheduling and location. I won't physically help(U MAD?) unless the strength of 10 spartans is needed but i'll keep you laughing.

I can offer the garage. I did my bar there and Alison's.
We can make a meet out of it.
You just need to take all the plastics out beforehand, then it shouldnt take too long
