 |
|
Okay, I bought a "Thing Shop" show bar last year... old version. Now, officially, they have a full roll cage. Now, I bought mine for the added safety it provides... YES, I know a Thing could never be made "safe," however, the roll cage, show bar, what ever would help in a minor/moderate accident.
Is there anyone else out there that would like to see the Thing Shop sell a "bolt on" front section for their old show bar? It would complete the look and added safety I desire, and I would think I am not the only one that would be interested.
Please note your interest by sending an e mail of interest to the Thing shop.
Thanks,
Richard  |

Build it yourself. That's what I'm going to do.

Go to a good fab shop and they will be able to make that happen for you.
Try Accurate welding and if he doesnt have a tubing bender ask him if he he can refer you to someone. The end result will be a lot cleaner looking than the Erector Set look of a bolt together and while your there you could have the welder add a tube across the cage under the dash. |
