The 5th point (crotch) will keep everything down low on your hips. I got mine from Dave & he's tops. For track and higher speeds I'd go 6 point but for autox 5 point is sweet.

The cross bar leaves you in stock class (if that's where you are now)

Here you go, don't miss out. There will be a price increase soon due to the cost of steel. We have not rasied our price in 3 years, but it has to happen soon to stay in business.

Just phoned and ordered mine. Hopefully it's not too much of a PITA to install.

Homey, if *I* could install it in a parking garage with nothing more than a basic open-ended wrench and a socket, you sure as hell can, and if not - that's what EM is for!

Dave - what's the price on a Cross Bar for a '96 Coupe?

At first glance, I thought that you called me "honey", took a shot of brandy and re-read it. Thanks for the confidence. Seems like you disappeared for a couple of months. Do you know Zix (Jay)? His car sounds like a monster!

I'd like to have the Targa Truss. I've got the Camber Brace and the Cross Frame. Both are good products, but I still think I could use the Truss when the top is removed.

I've got them on sale, but you'll need to call me for a price. It's to low to advertise.

Call anytime; 573-756-6954

Thanks,

I wish I could give you an answer. It does cross over the rear corner of the pan on one side. If the pan hangs lower than the floor pans, then it will hit. It may be possible to dent the Cross-frame the way we do to gain exhaust clearance to make it work, but I've never seen the application, so I'm just speculating. If you can lay a straight edge from floor pan to floor pan, it should give us the answer.

Give me a call if you would like to discuss it.

Thanks,
Dave

Sorry ralph,

I don't have any say on the pricing of those because their made by an outside source.
