That windshield bar seemed to be the only thing Jp was worried about on the whole sami:eeek:. He had to have the pissed off look. The b pillar is still getting an X brace in it. Im going to build it stronger than before but seeings how i cant drive it anymore it will never be on its roof again.:haha:

:redneck: Cool---I was just abit concerned that in the event of a roll, the Bpillar bar could crush in abit--why not do an upside down V back there, and tie the lower legs to the lower tube work???

Guess Im not sure what you talking about....put microsoft paint to work....show me.:redneck:

Brian, I know its more work but you should put all your nodes into one spot if possible.

For example your door diagonals. They are below the intersection of the B pillar and the door cross tube node and above the intersection of the A pillar and rocker tube node. If they all fully intersect its stronger.
