1967 El Camino roll bar
Quick question - What is the normal procedure for installing a roll bar in a '67 El Camino for Stock Eliminator? To be more precise, what does one do for the rear support bars? I'm guessing a Lexan back window. Yeah, I've lost my mind hehe...

Re: 1967 El Camino roll bar
Hand,
I "think" you are correct about Lexan or equivalent rear glass The rear glass we installed in the Super 10 came from S & W. It only required very slight trimming to fit perfectly. Scroll the last page or two of Super 10 pages and you will see how we sent the upper bars high as possible. Allowed glass to saddle around just right.

Re: 1967 El Camino roll bar
If I read the regs correctly I can install a cage without the rear bars in a steel bodied pickup...that would be great.

Re: 1967 El Camino roll bar
In the process of obtaining those SFI specs/illustrations right now to see if it is a viable effort.

Re: 1967 El Camino roll bar
On my buddy's El Camino, we went above the rear window and partially through the rear window trim, as we wanted the hoop to be as high as possible. It turned out very nice.
Sorry if 67 if completely different than a 65...

Re: 1967 El Camino roll bar
Sorry guys - I should have updated this thread long ago. Roll bar is off the burner as this one is going to remain on the street for now.
