I'd be interested if it was priced right and would clear my FMIC.

I would buy one, and if it had some way of mounting TA fog lights, I would REALLY be interested!

I would like one. Stand alone fuel cell option would be killer.

BMR made one for their own car, but I dont think they ever sold them for liability reasons.

Great, just after I made my own.
I think $100 isn't reasonable. Especially when people are paying what $85 for HVAC delete plates.
A powdercoated CM bolt in support, gotta bring in $250-$300 IMO.
I think it's a great idea.

If I could get one with a fuel cell mount and and fuel cell, and the piece to replace the top plastic piece, I'd pay probably 600 bucks for it all day. I know that's what it will cost me to have my fab guy make one, already asked what he wanted to do it.

Fuel cell mount, tranny cooler mount, and as light as possible. Powder coat would be nice but at the same time if it was bare I could put some brackets on it as needed. I considered having the shop that is doing my cage make this but time is a problem and if I had the chromoly tube I would be making it as soon as I get the car back from the shop.
I like the way smokn did his on the the car in the other thread.

As others have said, I would love to see this support have the three clip holes for the stop of the Trans Am bumper cover, and Fog Light support. It would also be cool if it could hold the factory hood latch system so that I would be able to get rid of the ugly factory piece. Make it all in one.

I would pay $250 bucks for it easy!

I would be interested in both front and rear bars. I think this would be a money maker for you.

Chuck and I talked this over today. These are a go and the Firebird will be the first out of the gate. Foglight provisions will make the cut and we are looking at a fuel cell mount for the nitrous junkies. It will have the 3 tabs to mount the nose.

Stay tuned as we develop this. We will want input from you along the way. Pricing ill be done on the tail end as we figure out material and labor cost involved in doing this.

Thanks for your support.

The Camaro versions will be soon to follow. Just need to get my car out of body and paint work so we have a template.

So sweet Chuck. Either a fabbed fuel cell by you guys, or a generic one that you can get would be awesome, either way. Having the support bolt in place of the top plastic and attach to the factory bumper support brackets is perfect. Fog light of course, perfect as well. Being able to leave the factory hood latch on is probably the way to go, and I don't recall if there are any of the rubber pads the hood rests on located on that top plastic piece, but if there is, those probably should stay too. The place where the factory clips go that hold the nose on, those probably don't need to be the same specific hole, just a hole that we can put a nut and bolt thru would be fine. Probably should have some way of holding the bottom of the nose up as well, so it doesn't flop/sag

The whole thing will probably look like this, without the tow hook, and with a radiator support still in place. (Of course, with a 3 gal fuel cell, and fog lights still on it, and a factory hood latch in place )
