Great looking work!
With this design can one leave in the rear seats, rear side panels and do the "hole cutout upholstery mod" somewhat common with other bars to the rear bolsters?

Ben shipped my bar on Saturday...got a call from the Philly Greyhound depot that it is available to pick up today...now I need to get off my ass and order seats/harnesses and find time to do the install. Have an event this weekend then some down time before the first track day of 2013 on 2.23, which is my deadline for having this all in by.
I made the drive down to meet Ben yesterday. I will say this, and keep in mind I'm not a ballwasher nor do I have any ties to him other than this purchase, but- I wish all of my internet transactions went this smoothly. He answers questions promptly, he's around when he says he's around, and he finishes his work when he says he'll be done. He showed me around his workspace and answered any questions I had.
The bar itself is great out of the box. While it's not in the car yet to assure fitment, the pads are all contoured, all hardware and contoured backers are included, and his jig is definitely accurate enough for me to be comfortable with him mass-producing these. The welds? While I wouldn't call them 'perfect', they are certainly effective, not ugly, and burnt in nicely throughout. While I consider myself a hack welder, they are certainly more than adequate and 100x prettier than I could think of making myself, so please don't take this as a knock on the product.
All in all, I couldn't be happier with the transaction so far. He saved me some serious $$ considering I was about 24 hours away from throwing down for a TC Kline bar plus shipping across country for it.

Would you do bash bars to ?
Installed today. Sorry for the crap pics, but it was cold and dark...
Edit- apparently i dont have enou posts to post pics... Boo.
Overall, i am completely satisfied with the bar and components. Great fit, easy install(<2hours with 2 people), and it's definitely solid.
Thanks again Ben!
I finally have 15 posts for pic urls-
Still making these!

Hi, I might want one of these seeing as the drift shop around here that was supposed to build me a custom half cage for $630 welded in stopped answering calls suddenly a couple weeks ago. So what's the shipping cost to Oakland, California greyhound station?

PM'd you, i am very interested in your roll bar.
Still making these?
I am also interested in a rollbar. Let me know if you are still making them.
Want! Will be contacting you soon!
Hi I am very interested in having you make one of these for me. A few questions.
1. With the original "x" design can you still put all the rear seat components in their spot?
2. Would you consider shipping to Florida and if so how much would it cost to ship?
3. If not where are you located and how much would it cost me to buy this design roll bar?

Still making these? Love your original design with the X-Brace. Would need shipped as well, PM me when you have the chance. I was about to buy an Autopower bar.
