Any one want to help me out, I'm going to attempt to make a roll bar for my 78 silver dodge macho and needed some measurement for it. Diameter of pipe and total height of it. Also looking for the height of where the bar meets and goes back to the well hump. This will get me by untill I find a good one for it.

doesnt have to be exact, just something to get me in the ball park. It's just going to temporary and defenitly will have no safety value as it will probably be made out of exhaust tubing.

I never saw the roll bar :shock: , but I wasnt really looking for one either. I was buisy running around buying parts for my charger and that pretty much kept me busy all weekend. Never saw the wagon wheels as well, what the heck.

Yah Jeff your going to have to come out for it next year, it's the most fun I have all year, so many parts.

And thanks Jeff for getting me some measurements. It still has all the holes in the bed so I'll know where they go there. I'll post pictures of the truck real soon just wanted to get it cleaned up first.
