This is the full roll bar.

Kicker bars are welded to the frame tie.

Side bars are welded to front outriggers (2x3 stub welded between the rocker and the frame rail)

The only pieces that are sitting on plates are the two rear bars, in the trunk...everything else is part of the structure.

The eventual need for a roll bar was a real deciding factor when doing the frame ties this way....it paid off to plan ahead.
