I wish I was jokin'.
I bought the Air Bar for my 70 'cuda from Reilly Motorsports in 2006 and installed it according to instructions and thought my car looked a little weak in some areas near the upper bar mounting area.
Let's fast fwd to now. I recently got my car going under it's own power and have about 25 miles on all the components.
I have left hard but these tires wouldn't grab enough to brake anything but traction. I had it up on the lift today doing the exhaust and noticed the brackets that the top bars bolt to (back seat area) have RIPPED the metal there.
I'm not flaming here, I just need to see if there is newer version of the bracket that is a one piece design that has more area to compensate for that thin Chrysler uni-body sheet metal.
Is there any revisions on this. I think I remember seeing a one piece bracket that goes over the driveshaft tunnel that was on later versions. Mine has the two L shaped brackets. The picture on the product description shows the same thing that I got in my kit but again, I swear I saw a one peice deal that was said to be in the latest kits.
So first things first I have to fix my sheet metal and figure out a way to reinforce and re-engineer this piece or hopefully get the latest and greatest upper bar bracket. Part of hotrodding I guess.
