Adding a roll bar to a vert

You may already have considered this, but once you start attaching structural components like roll bars you really can devalue the car.

Have you installed the roll bar and if so, what did you use, and what does it look like? I might consider it for my Modified T code.

The rollbar I have in my '66 is an original '68 Shelby 'vert bar, but the reproduction convertible bars are made to the same dimensions. The '68 Shelby rollbar will identically fit any 65(64 1/2)-68 chassis. The base of the bar rests in the oval cut-out of the triangular brace at the base of the door post (it's hidden buy the quarter panel assy). The oval hole was opened up by bending the interior edge up, the bar inserted, and the bar welded as much as possible to the triangular brace. The original bars were also welded to the sheet tin about 18 inches up from there. Since I wanted my bar for appearance sake, I left the bottom unwelded, and welded a tab further up which I bolted through the tin of the body panel. It's solidly in place, but not for safety's rqmts. Besides the rollbar you'll need the interior quarter panels, an extension to the window crank shaft, and a sheet-metal support brace that supports and centers the end of the shaft extension, as well as keeps the fiberglass (reproduction) / plastic (original) qurter panel properly spaced and seated.
