Default Dash bars

How is everyone running theirs? I swear I saw someone take the metal shell of the dash out and weld the dash bar to the inside of the car and run the a pillar bars into that bar and weld the dash back in.

We do ours through the dash. Check our site for pics. You can bend the bars around the dash. This will make less room to get in and out. The major draw back is that bend around the dash becomes a crush point in an accident. That is why we do all through the dash bars.

The A Pillar bar connects to the dash bar. We put ours right inder the cowl. It's a tight fit but works well. There are pics on our site.
