I'm struggling with that right now. Roll bar or not. It's the right thing to do but I favor the no roll bar look. The reason I know the additional family bars are available is because I inquired thinking I might add one and have a hickey bar I could use. Have you seen photos of a flipped, pancaked k5?

Nope, I've never seen a picture of one wrecked.

Scot said he may just build another roll bar, since he has the pattern now.

BTW, he cut the outer skin out of his top, where it was sagged and filled it with close cell foam, filed it to shape, then used Fusor (epoxy) to glue it back. It came out nice.

The ability to speak several languages is an asset, but the ability to keep your mouth shut in any language is priceless.

Take a look here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=rolled+blazer

Strong work on the top! I corrected the sag on my blue blazer the lazy way: I bought a single wall top.
