    Quick question...I've got a Cutlass convertible...it appears that installing a rear bar might be an issue, due to the top stuff being in the way. Would this be an issue?

    Beautiful work, BTW, they look great!

    Thank you! I've been told they won't fit the 'vert. Can you PM me some pictures of your trunk, with attention to the strut towers? Perhaps I could come up with something for you.

    You could probably make a mount for the towers, but when the top goes down. Well, you can't put the top down with a bar for an RSTB there. If someone winter drives their 'vert. It wouldn't be a bad winter mod. Because the top never goes down in the winter time.

    I've studied a few verts in yards, there is a way, but would take a lot of work.

    Couldnt you just make a drop bracket, something along the lines of this, to lower the bar?

    Sort of, I have my tooling setup but I've been waiting for nice weather to get rolling on the production. I have one set cast, they just need drilling and they're ready to go

    If that's the issue, then yes I could make a drop bracket. I need to get my hand's on a vert locally to see what I can do for it.
