Is there any kind of styling bar for the convertibles? If so where can I find one for my '92 Firebird?

Thanks, John

 

c'mon someone has to know.....lol

 

If you're talking about a roll bar more for appearance, thirdgenresource is in the process of producing one.


BTW, feel free to IM me...I'm on a local board based out of Tyler you might like to join.

 

LOL, nm, I just realized who you are.



Anyways, like I said, thirdgen resource is making a bar, but other than that no one makes them right now.

 

its alright.....I knew you would remember me....lol Any idea how much they are going to be? I thought I already saw one on a camaro but I am not sure.

that's Roy from Third Gen Resource's car. They're going to be reporducing that roll bar. Check his site in the sponsor listing above.

 

They have been saying theyre "reproducing" it for literally over 2 years now. I dont think it will ever be done, or he just doesent care to. If it were made, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

 

Was that the car that was in Hot Rod (or some similar mag) not too long ago? It was pretty nice. I think the article even mentioned that the roll bar was custom-made.

Same here.

 

If you guys have any fabricating skills (welding) at all. do like Tons of others have done. Buy 2 hooks summit has the Comp. Eng Hoops for 3rdGens 40bucks each.

Then you buy some aluminum sheets.

Tack the hoops in place as close as you want em. For the width of the done bars. Then you trim the Sheets to the proper width. tac it in place as you bend it over the 2 hoops. Top and Bottom. keep tac welding it all untill its one continus weld. dont just run a bead the sheetmetal will get to hot and warp. etc. Once all the tacs connect the dots and your happy with the looks grind tac grind tac untill your happy.

now get really creative if you like and do the same for back bars if your putting them in also.

I have Pic's of a Yellow 69 Drop top with a bar like this. (just a main hoop) It was also In HOT ROD MAG. well I talked to the Guy and seen the car in person at a show at Summit Racing. This is exactally How he did it also..

Thats pure looks Im gona bet. NICE ya. but I think it would fold over if ever rolled. Id like to see how its mounted.

 

yep, you are correct, I believe they specifacally state it is "a styling bar, not a roll bar."

I like the 2 round hoops setup TPI383 mentioned
Hey TPI383 can you post that pic you said you had ?
I would love to see it.

 

click this link Pic is to big to post

why not just get the base bar of a roll cage? you can always chop and mod off of that. nothing a little paint cant fix...to make it pretty

 

I guess you didnt read my post above and look at the picture of the 69 camaro I linked.

 

um i guess i did click the link and saw the pic of the yellow camaro...and your post is just a quote...

 

I'm Talking about this Post Above..... Tells you exactally how to do it. Like The Yellow 1st Gen. This is how He did It. I talked to the owner of the car. He is a local who ownes his own shop and does all his own work
