Just finished tuning my ninco Porsche 356. I didn't care for the rag top. I'm not much if a convertible guy. So I decided to melt the pins on the top and remove it. Well I now had to deal with the 4 holes that the pins had been in. So after about 34.7 seconds of brainstorming I got the idea to make a roll bar to fill the holes.

I used the ground wire from some standard housing wire I had laying around from rewiring my outside lights. I cut a small chunk and bent it then cut the two small back support beams and bent them. I then measured out the holes and drilled out a piece of wood for a jig and placed the three wires in and soldered them up and...... Boom a sexy little Porsche 356 drop top with no top!

We are racing pre 60's sports cars tomorrow so I needed to get this thing tuned. Wasn't a big fan of it but now.... It's towards the top of my list!

That's the way to do it. Nice job.

Nice bar!

Just noticed my wiper needs some love...... I'll be back.

Looks great, better than mine. I used plastruct rod. I followed a double bar design I saw in a magazine.



Good to see another classic being done.

:text-thankyouyellow: Nice Porsche 356 examples. This gives me some food for thought. Time to charge up Mr. Dremel and do some chopping!

Update. I added numbers to it Thursday and made it a race car :)

Great conversions guys! I might have to reconsider one of those in the future!

I did that one like a weekend racer. A car that could be used on the street, but still do duty as a parking lot racer. Hence no numbers or sponsor decals. :D

Ken that looks fantastic! I love the combo and that rake looks wicked!
