Offset location was a must, I wasn't willing to cut the center roof line support and I didn't want to be banging my head on the control/duct assy every time I got out of my seat.

I used a small skin saw blade on my die grinder to make the cuts, it was a mess but produced a nice cut and didn't chip up the edges of the gelcoat.

I put this off longer than I should have...I'm committed now.

Passenger side structural/anti-sag modification complete along with the "Foam it Green" spray foam insulation


after a little more tuning it's a perfect match..

Taco Metals V12-0303BKA70 after trimming the wings back a little. Looks like a winner..

I installed the structure and loaded it, it immediately sagged so I jacked it back up and installed an additional support tube and the shear plates and gussets...that did the trick..

duplicated in steel tube and angle, there is a lot more interference/openings on this side so it's much more work than the drivers side

passengers side opened up and foam insulation removed..this will be a "rinse and repeat" of the drivers side..

it's in what you don't see...which is the huge bow/sag that used to be there..

Chassis batteries mounted inside just forward of the engine bay, they should live a lot longer by not being exposed to the engine bay temps.
