Default AFSB Targa Truss bar available for order now

This might be redundant, but after recently buying my first Vette (95 Coupe) and removing the roof, I spent several hours trying to find a source for a truss bar (used or new). Finally I found Tom Gasper at Tommy's Speed Shop. He is the original designer and producer of the bar. I talked to him last night and ordered one. He is making a second run for 2016 now if anyone is interested on getting one. Someone posted here earlier in the year and he has had a run on the bars. Info is located here. He answers this number at night, too.

I'm happy that Tom is running more for y'all. I can't think of a better accessory for our cars if you like the top out action.

Got my bar from Tom and installed it. Fit perfectly. Wow, what a difference. Car feels tight and solid on rough bumpy roads. No shake, no shimmy. Worth every penny. Thanks, Tom.

Have one it works great. You have to give him some time as he builds that than sends them out for powder coat.

I found his number and email address on this site. But I would rather not put up numbers I am unsure of, for fear its not the correct number and I make someone mad. I hope you understand. He has not answered my calls or my emails. If he does I will let you know. If you get a hold of him please let me know also. I was going to go to a fab shop and see if they could make me one.

Any one looking for a truss bar should call Tom at 216-316-9812. He is doing another run of them now. Best time to get a hold of him is in the evening. If he doesn't answer leave a message, he will call you back.
