    Repeat after me: fiber-reinforced cutting wheels. These are the only cutting wheels worth buying for a Dremel. The non-reinforced ones are just a waste of time.

    Tin snips are for s.

    No, I never even bothered with them. Unlike some people on this board, I can operate a Dremel properly.

    Well after getting sick, pricing all I would need to buy, and getting a little freaked out by the suggestions (thank God)...I decided to go to Gary to install the roll bar.
    After seeing all the work that went into it, and the time, and knowing how overly slow I would have been, the drive and money was well worth it.
    They did a stellar job on the install!!...and it was great talking and meeting so many other Miata drivers.
    It looks fantastic, and I like the way the car feels now.
    Thanks for making me think twice about doing this alone.

    ...and across the line.
