| Rollbar & Chassi |
In order to prevent my chassi from twisting and moving I have chosen
to put in a rollbar. This is very important because I have T-Tops. This
is a weak point in my cars overall frame.

Strut Braces...
Another thing that is very important is front strut braces. It is also very
important to triangulate them. This is much more rigid than just a
normal strut to strut brace. This way it connects it to the firewall and
make it much harder for the towers to move.

| Total time for this is about a 5-6 hours of cutting and fitting pieces. I dink around though so it can be done faster. |

Spare Tire Compartment(now battery compartment)...
This used to be the spare tire compartment. Now it will be the battery compartment. I had to cut out the only rust on the
whole car that was located at the bottom of the spare tire compartment though before I can install the battery back here. I just
used an angle grinder to cut out the hole, used a rust grinding wheel to get rid of the surface rust and now I am welding in a
new piece of 22 guage steel. I only have about 1/2 of it done as you can see from the pictures. I still need to weld in a piece
on the bottom and paint the new panel so that it doesnt rust out like the last panel that was in there!
