Additional door bars added

Today I welded on some additional door bars to allow for easier entry and exit. Since the doors are now just thin carbon skins, you can't sit on the sill and swing your legs in, so I added the bars. Now you can sit on the top of the door before you drop into the seat, no worries of damaging the door skins. I also welded in the pin-plates for the quarter-turn fasteners that hold the skins in place.

I believe that the additional door bars added some significant rigidity to the car...they should help stiffen the unibody and transmit the loads carried by the cage.
