    Connect RollBar to Subframes ???

    Is there any reason NOT to connect the rollbar to the subframes? I've searched this topic and didn't find anything on it. I don't like how the rollbar's main hoop is welded to the floorboards, that doesn't sit well with me. So I was thinking, why not tie in the rollbar to the subframes...

    So, the welder claimed the fumes were too bad so he said just to bolt it down. So basically, I paid to have him weld the plates to the main hoop and bracing bars and tack it to the body. He couldn't weld to the rear braces or the floorboard. What I want to know is why he didn't just grind it...
