Now for another original gem !! Here is an original factory red mark to show the this bolt was firmly in place. I will replace when back from restoration. Enjoy !!

Hi Guys !! Now, we have the TRE Motorsports hoop that I want to install. It will have to be cut and welded in place. We will weld up the Holbert holes and use the mounts provided by TRE.
Here I have a friends parcel shelf with rare Blaupunkt speaker. Using it as a template for welding the luggage strap mounts on the parcel shelf.
Hey Guys !! After -13 degrees F last week in Tennessee, I went back to the shop to check on things. Mr Laws is working on the roll bar. What a project !! I was not aware about the angles and precise cuts.
Here is Mr Laws who is using a plumb bob for correct positioning. The bar is from TRE.
Here is where various holes where welded. Included are holes from the old rollbar. Thanks for looking !!! Keep warm !!! George K
I'm enjoying the pace of your work, George --- also the details. This is fun --- like dropping-in on a work-in-progress. Appreciate your sharing this
Interesting to see this roll bar part. I remember one of our posters --- Raj . . . asking for opinions about what to do w/ old war-scars + battle-damage on a 914-6 racer he had
What's your thinking regarding these 'old holes'? Clean 'em up? . . . or leave 'em be?
Hi Rick !! Thanks for your insightful words !! There is a tense medium between patina and function. This bar can be taken out if needed with little effort. And trying to correct some past gremlins. Best of both worlds in my opinion. George K
Hey Guys !! Sorry for the delay but I was in LA for the Literature Meet, Shops, and Anaheim swap meet weekend as well as attending Amelia Island Concours this past weekend. Enjoyed seeing old friends and great cars !! While away, Mr Laws was playing !! He has put two coats of primer to the body. So nice to see !!
