Hi there. I'm from Portugal. I'm tranforming my Beetle into a convertible. I know all the "cut" spots on the roof, but I have a dought. I know that the roof of the car helps to maintain the structure's stability. So choping the roof implies reenforcing the car. That is one of the main reasons that all convertibles are heavier than the same models with roofs. What I cant find anyhere on the net, is some info on those reenforcements. I know I need to weld some steal bars to the car, but I would love some info about the locations of those reenforcements on the veycle. I know its a good idea to weld a rollbar, but i'm kind of guessing the best spots for some longitudinal bar welding. If anyone can help me with pictures, or just descriptions I would really apreciated. Thanks! MaC
