Nice that you retain use of the secret compartment. I'm not an engineer but looks structurally sound. Do you have a template or plan to produce more for sale?

Roll bar looks good to me at first glance (structural engineer).

Pics at NHMS, I see yer in my neck of the woods!
Do you run at all with COMSCC? Haven't seen you out there...

It's an excellent club, I highly recommend it! We're going to Mont Tremblant June 8-9, just a week and a half out. Registration is closed, but let me know if you're interested and I'll put you in touch with the registrar.

did you have to cut holes in the chassis to mount the front legs like HardDog roll bar?

Upon further review, I'm not a fan of the kink in the main hoop:


It would have been much better to mount the main hoop feet to the elevated "floor" behind the seats that the bulkhead mounts to. Longer legs + kink = buckling at much lower load.

Still, I wouldn't have any qualms about tracking a car with this bar.

Is it legal for SCCA and others?

i would think that the kink in the main hoop would make it not legal for some sanctions.

but it does make installation easy, you don't have cut into the chassis.
