Wow that is what I'm looking for but I'll have a bigger rear. Good ideas in that one for sure.

Well funny you should say.... I was planning on adding side bars, but detachable so that on the lazy days I won't be hopping over the bar. This is the brace that will house the tabs, I'll attach them higher up on the brace. I haven't figured out the bends on the side brace since I don't have the seats. As for the gaps, I have the car raised from the suspension points so it would be similar to the car being on its wheels. Thanks for the tip though. it would be a bugger to have to deal with gaps after all of the other work. I still have lots of gap work to deal with with those front fenders. Damn fiberglass...

Good stuff, he's getting more and more interested as his time to get a license is nearing.
