Weld-on 6 pt. rollbar install...HELP! Thinking of installing a 6 point rollbar myself with a help of a friend(certified welder). How hard is it to install? What precaution to take? Because of the heat, is it necessary for fuel tank to come down? fuel lines under the rocker panel? etc, etc,. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
The fuel lines are not in the way because they route towards the center of the car. I did not drop my fuel tank but I was under the car with a hose just in case 
The only thing is make sure you put your seat in and check the door bar to make sure your door will close properly

If you do it yourself, put the car on jack stands, make sure the car is sitting level all the way around and double check door bar clearances, roof clearances, and double check all of your measurements.
If your gonna leave the tank in, then make sure it is full, because an empty tank is more dangerous than a full tank. The fumes act like a bomb if ignited. I did mine with the tank in it and just welded in small increments, moving from side to side. Also, you can tack the rear bars and hoop in car then remove to completely weld all the joints and paint it outside the car.
