I appreciate the thought! I think he'll do okay, and I'll live with it if it's not perfect.

If the roll bar were in I might have had more trouble talking the headliner guy into driving out to my place and doing the job.

I got the car back from Comp Chassis today and the roll bar looks great.

And while we're at it, here's a look at the headliner, which seems to be just fine.

But there's a little more prep needed on the car than I was figuring on, and the power company picked now as the perfect time time rip up the roads in my neighborhood, including directly in front of my driveway. Plus a lot of turmoil going on in my job now doesn't help. So testing Saturday is looking unlikely unless I can take Friday off from work. We'll see if I can.

But there's an opportunity to get a couple of passes in next Friday night at Wild Horse.

Jeebus Dave...did they use a stick welder? Good luck with your initial tests.

Mike does great work. On time and reasonably priced

I've seem better welding, but since I did my own I won't comment on that. As for the questions raised about the bar placement, everything seems to be where the book wants it to be on a roll bar stocker.

No Malibu stocker scares me... except one around here. Make that two. Same guy...
