Calvert wheelie bar
 

Anyone here using one? Recommendations or negatives?

Re: Calvert wheelie bar
 

Rich, I was very happy with my Calvert single wheelie bar. Also, Calvert are awesome to work with if you have any questions etc. The car came up to a controlled height and sixty foot times were consistent. I'm an old guy so didn't want wild wheelstands, this bar gave me peace of mind and never "steered " the car like regular twin bars can do if not perfectly adjusted. I had to fabricate a platform welded to each side subframe under the trunk floor for the upper wheel to contact, otherwise the force applied would make a mess of your trunk floor. If you decide to go this route, shoot me an email at grant4060@yahoo.com. I have now converted my stocker back to street use and could save you some $$ and effort if you'd like to buy the entire setup off my car. Mine is a 1967 Camaro, ran in E/SA up in Division 6 a few years ago...

Grant, do you have any pictures of the platform you fabricated underneath the rear of your car? I'm getting ready to install the Calvert bars on my '69 and am looking for ideas.

Grant used some square tubing spanning the subframe with a steel plate tacked in position. I plan on installing the plate between the subframe rails instead of spanning them. I'll post pics after install in our '67.
