Wonderbar question

Hi I was just wondering if anyone has any dimensions of a wonderbar for my 85 trans am? I am a metal fabricator and tig welder and have lots of 1.25 chrome molly tubing available and would like to fab my own up. Also if anyone has other blueprints etc to custom build own parts for steering and suspension stability and stiffening would be fantastic!!!

Thanks so much!
Brad

Re: Wonderbar question

That's WAY too big.

A stock one is less than ¾". Might only be ½".

No need putting a piece of railroad track weight right on the nose of the car.

Go out and look at your car; all you need is 2 plates to bolt under your front sway bar bushings, and a tube to couple them together. For sure wouldn't have to be any bigger than ½" OD if it was chrome-moly.
