I haven't been able to post as i haven't done much work lately on my coach as i was preparing for surgery on march 2nd, i'm still recovering everything went and is going well 
i do have a question in my 74 coach there was a center roof panel which i've removed as it was damaged and i'm redesigning the everything lol, but i had one question here in this picture

the support is straight and wondering what people who have removed the center console have done with this beam, there's 2 options as i see it, 1) simply just remove it as it's screwed there, or 2) remove it and contour(bend) it to fit or replace it from a year that had it already bent.
Just wondering what some others have done.
I have bigger fish to fry before really worrying about this but something easy while i'm recovering to think about, i still have to pick the thing up off the frame and replace almost the whole floor as there's water rot all over , and check the frame for rust while at it and repair w/e i find as well.
Thanks David

Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car, understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Hp is how fast you hit the wall, and torque is how far you take the wall with you when you hit it.

David,
On my 73 that beam (just a light weight piece of aluminum angle) was just stuck up there; held in place only by some poor insulation. I will be using the drop down ceiling panel but still expect to leave out the angle.
