[DeTomaso] detomaso harness bar

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Great idea for the roll bar. I've seen one Pantera with this roll bar set up....memory fading but thought owner/driver was from Arizona. It may be GW and I love GW but he is on a 100 year build-out...;-]>

Here's the simple solution. Put the roll bar in the engine bay behind the firewall and run braces
backward to the wheel houses or back to a frame support. Didn't GW do that on his car?
For what most of us do (MD and a few others excluded) a roll bar like that would give plenty of 
protection.  Most importantly it gets it out of the passenger compartment and away from your head. 
That is the way McLaren, Lola and many builders put them together during the CanAm days. 

Regards,

Tom
