Roll Bar with a Notch/Ferarri Hatch

Ok i just bought what i think is the best notch style hatch....looks more olike a ferrari and follows the body lines on the sides...where my question comes to play is I want to add a roll bar to my car and was woundering who might sell one for me to use? can be bolt in or weld in(i'll have it installed)...its a 92 RS with T-Tops

well i dunno...i have seen a few that connected kinda on the sides like under the speakers and then connected in the back where the back of a seat might be....the reasons i want a roll bar are 1) to put harnesses in 2) extra stability 3) looks i dont need it to be drag worthy or nuttin

i think mocifying the shape of what a roll bar should look like will mess with the structural integrity of it, and defeat the purpose of it. unless its for show.

roll bars in a basically stock 305 seems ridiculous

expect alot of car guys to point and laugh...

but yes, i believe I've seen many 4 point roll bars in the 3rd gens... I think some of the B4C guys still have the police issue ones in thier car

do a search on B4C and cage or something

its not always to meet drag rules.... try taking some corners in a camaro with a cage and a little 305, won't seem so ridiculous then

If you wanted one you'd just have to move the rear bar body side mounts forward, just like in a vert. Look for TPI383's vert pictures floating in a bunch of threads.

I dont know who makes it.I bought the car from my buddy and he put the notchback hatch on about 1989 or so.I got the car from him in 2002 when he moved to hawaii and couldnt take it with him
