I'm sorry, but I try keep up with the posts but just want to clarify that what I'm about to do will be legal. As we all know it says that NASCAR style or "X" style bars are permitted, not mandatory. So if I weld two bars that are horizontal to the ground that connect the front and main hoop, I should be okay, correct? That way I have the two required door bars. Please steer me right if this is not the case.

Also, if I did do the "X" style on one side, do they have to bisect each other or can the two pass by each other close enough that I can weld them together without cutting one in half?

Let me know if that makes sense.

Thanks in advance.

Mike
