Oh, thanks Mike. I just saw your posted when I came in to update this but I just talked to the regional director at NASA and he doesn't think it will be a problem
Apparently he has been working on Z's since the 70's and is very familiar with them and didn't have any question about the roll bars or anything. He said their about as strong as you could ever want... so I just pried my roof open in the snow for nothing
But he seems pretty sure he'll get me on the track one way or another and is just waiting to hear back from the regional office.
