The frame

And I’d suggest boxing the frame adjacent to wherever the bar meets the frame.

Run a box from the frame connectors to the rockers below the main hoop and angled bars behind the seats. Welding the frame connectors to or through the floor also helps stiffen everything up.

To the frame on full frame cars and to the "plated" floor on uni-body cars.
