Check out www.vetteworksonline.com and look for the Shark Bar. If you don't want to buy one, it should at least give you some ideas.

Robin,

I have the Shark Bar II in my 81, I'm an hour(give or take) south of Tampa if you'd like to come look at it. Dan builds quality stuff, I'm quite pleased with mine.

Robin,

Didn't know about the show, can't make it anyway as I'll be working as usual :cry I do usually make OctoberVettes without fail, that's a great show. I got a great deal on my bar because I became a distributor

harnesses

. i looked at the shark bar site and they are pricy, so i have a design in my head and get it fabbed up at work.... besides i enjoy the challenge of making things for my vehicles..they become so much more different

Dave- nothing for a 68 that I know of.

Robin- yes and no, check out pricing on bars for the C4 & C5's and then look at the quality of the 3 types, dan's stuff is way better. For those that have the ability to make their own, I wish I had that ability so I commend them. But, for some of us it's an expensive mod, and most would be better off fixing the things that need to be fixed first....as most C3 owners know all too well. I'd be willing to do a group purchase as well if there was any interest.

Scott81,

I'd be interested in a group purchase!!! Let's get it going.

Thanks.

 

[Robin7TFour]

scott how many makes a group??

 

[Scott81]

Well just off the top of my head let's say this for a group purchase;

2 to 4 people a 10% off purchase
5 or more a 15% off purchase

This is for Shark Bar I or II, it doesn't have to be all one or the other. You can get any combo, with or without fire extinguisher, passenger side options, etc.

Considering what little profit there is on this stuff that's pretty good. Keep in mind that these aren't made by a big company so the initial costs for the metal stock isn't cheap. All parts are powdercoated gloss black.

I talked to Dan this afternoon, he has plenty of Shark Bar II's in stock as he just completed a run of them. Shark Bar I's can probably be done in a couple days depending on Dan's real job schedule.

Note: I'm not exactly sure how I will handle this yet as far as accepting payments, it's kind of a pain to setup the paypal buttons for all different orders. Suggestions welcome. I guess checks/MO's would be easiest but if there's enough interest I'll setup the paypal buttons.

If you are overseas contact me direct, I will do the discount for you but after shipping one to England already I need extra time to prepare for it, the shipping is a royal pain....not to mention expensive.
