    I cut one out of my Ranchero not long ago. Just about like Don said.
    I wanted it out so I could put real seat in it again. I also don't race
    it anymore. I only had room for the racing type buckets for the 5 point
    harness.

    Thanks guys. I did just about what Don said and it came out fine.

    Don, I have 7-year old twins who like to go cruising with me. While I put in a back seat, if I ever got into a crash their heads would have been a sure target for the lower roll bar - especially with only lap belts in the back.

    I don't race the car anyway, although the 468/blower combination make it real fun to drive around! I can't, however, pass a gas station without stopping.

    Thanks again...

    Ah, good reason for getting rid of the rollbar. Glad it went well for you removing it. Your car in the avatar looks very nasty. I mentioned before that my twin Sons were sitting in the back of my drag Mustang one time, and the driveshaft broke. Sure made a lot of noise rattling around under the aluminum interior, but luckily no one was hurt.
