1966 Dodge Dart

Got some more of the roll bar installed yesterday. I tach welded the plates for the hoop to the floor after I heated and bent them to fit. Then I tached the main hoop in place. This allowed me to position my front bar and plate on the drivers side (still need to do the passenger side) and weld it into place. Since I am going to use the swing out pivots for the front bars I will be able to cut them, grind the tach welds back off the main hoop floor area and the rear of the roll bar will be movable for me to paint the interior, fit the carpet and start to assemble the interior before I permanently weld the main hoop and rear bars tight to the floors. Of course I will be dropping the roll bar back down the holes I drilled in the floor which allowed me to weld the top of the roll bar so I can put the headliner in as well. I also mounted my starter but had some issues there with clearance so I decided to heat the one tube and with a hammer i created some space. I did this because you cant see that from up top or underneath unless it was on the lift. It just wasnt worth the fight and expense to not move on. I will post pics one day this week once I finish the roll bar on the passenger side.
