I do them the old school way.cut off disc,& a sanding disc.I have done alot of bars over the years so I got it down to a science.you will be able to see with more pics just how tight this bar is.the back seat fits in it,dash goes in,door handles work,clears all the plastic in the car also.the rear bars are very tight to the trunk hinges but they clear and mounted all the way back as far as you can go in the trunk.

Full interior,with console,All steel, & painted to boot! the only real modern things are the brakes,& caltracs. aside from the msd & parts like that. but they will be hidden. Ron I closed that shop about 4 years ago.& stopped teaching @ earlbeck around then.I run a fab shop downtown, but I still do a fair amount of stuff at the house it is set up. Want more picks?
