I'll only post two shots.

I've cut the right rear fender and sail panel off and the inner fender panel out. The inner fender was rusted out pretty good so I went ahead and removed it. The top of my frame rail is gone. I can look into the rail through the opening. There in only minor surface rust inside.

I'll be adding RacerChris' outer console stiffing kit also (its on his website).
I think I'll be OK.

I'm trying to balance between adding weight with too many bars and getting the most stiffness with just the right amount of bars. I could have used 2" bars for everything and it would be strong but a heavy pig. Being that this is a autox car only I don't need to provide side impact bars or bars surrounding the fuel cell. I'm going strictly for enough stiffness to offset the flex.
