Just wondering how much I can add and then later possibly remove should I want to cut the bars out.
The rear bars going down through the speaker holes are welded to 6x6 plates welded to the floor above the frame rail. The main hoop is welded to 6x6 plates as well. These plates are bent 90º and welded to the side and bottom. Same for the front bars.

At least that's how I did it.

What headers do you have on your car? Are they the Hooker #6208 swap headers?

Good Luck!
