I'm also sorry to hear about your dad passing; I too bought my Coupe, in part, to spend more time with my dad. Regarding the door bars and other frame mods, you may have read that we have a "Spec Coupe Build Manual" in the works. It assembles in one place the vast majority of the information you need for the frame mods. Unfortunately I have been beyond busy with work for almost six months and haven't had the time to put the finishing touches on it, or do much of anything else with the project. Nevertheless, feel free to get in touch with me via PM and I will help out however I can.
