I put one in my '85 - it was a lot of work. Had to notch the foam covering over the bar to clear the top mechanism, fabricate a floor mount, and move the whole assy forward so the top would work.

I really liked it, but since I sold the car to my brother (Dahberg) he has been working to restore the car back to stock. I have more pics of the install if you are really interested in trying it - send me an e-mail.

regards,

Jeff

Ah so that is your brother. He mentioned someplace that makes these style bars on the old site. I contacted a local supplier who said it wouldnt be a problem to install it into an ASC and quoted some years ago close to $500 w/install. I have to look up the vendor cause I may still do it.
