Ok sorry misinterpreted what you were saying....

I guess that is one reason I made the comment about the back seat is because it appears in the cars above they were leaving the back in place which seemed kinda odd to me. I would think they would just remove them altogether since it appears they are useless with the roll bar in place, and it would remove some weight.

You need to make sure any rollbar kit you consider is made for a convertible. I haven't seen any pre-fabbed kits for verts but there may be one out there. I had mine custom fabbed from chrome-moly. My chassis guy strongly recommended NOT to use swing out side bars as a vert needs all the rigidity you can add.
I think he was right on the money as my car can pull 1.5x 60' times on 100% STOCK suspension.

Why remove the back seat it weighs like 12 pounds. That wouldnt look so good in a vert either. You really can't use the backseat as the main hoop would be in the rear passenger's face, too dangerous.

Yes....that is very nice. Mine is not nearly as user friendly, although do have swing-outs.
