Default Roll bar for conv.

Does anyone make them? Also would like to find one that does not require cutting the deck lid to install and will let the seats go all the way back. Thanks for your help.

Exotic Muscle has one that looks pretty cool in a vert. I was thinking about getting this one. It's under the "safety" link.

No body makes a prefab bar that will pass NHRA regs. I could not even find someone to put one in custom. So I sold the vert and bought a coupe.

All depends on your goals for the car. You doing it for looks, or to pass tech inspection.

Bob, I sent a email to exoticmuscle to ask for more details on the bar. Thanks for the link. Vette92, no I dont want it for looks. IMO it will hurt the looks. But it is a matter of time before they send me home for not having one. Thanks for your help. Also I guess my other option would be a hardtop, but they are hard to find and so expensive.
