Good for cages, not so much for bars. Setina's partitions aren't truly roll-bars, though. Here is the Lakewood bar in my CSP for comparison. It's a 4-point bar (bare minimum, no forward supports). and is routed out through the rear package tray and welded in.

Actually a Lemans convertible that's been there for years. I guess the question is more if I should use the h-pipe or the cats in that extra exhaust system that I'm planning on mounting up.

Greg, did you reach up under the RH interior quarter panel cover and feel around for a build sheet? They have been located there taped to the sheet metal.

I've pulled the carpet back some but found padding packets only so far while feeling around in the footwell. I figure once I get the mechanicals done on it, I'll have a better time getting to the build sheet. I did try in the RH side but didn't try the LH side. I'll find it if it's there just have to dig in deeper. Looks like it's the original carpet and has only been dyed black so I think it's got to still be there.

Hector,

Setina indicated to me that they are the supplier of record for the "rollbar" and it was supposed to be a 4 point bar mounted somewhat like this:



No matter, I cannot find the divots or holes or anything associated with a rollbar so my best guess is that this car was not equipped with one at all.

...but I will find that buildsheet... it can run but it can't hide!

As a brief update for those that mentioned it, I got the direct word from ISP today that the skull shift knob is definitely not something added by a trooper (they were very emphatic about that too). They were only allowed to install a CB radio and nothing more in their vehicles! So time to get a factory correct shift knob. I just got the Whelen Responder, mike clip and rear antenna on eBay in the past day or so and I'm only needing the GE radio itself that I see on eBay and the reflector of course for the responder light. I can say that I'm done with getting equipment from what I see in general. Now for more pressing matters!

That and the mysterious missing time between June 27, 1986 delivery at the Ford dealership (I'm asking that question too as to who was the supplier of these cars) and May 31, 1996 where the car did not show any title, registration or any activity at all on Autocheck. Any other suggestions for finding this information?

that is the time it was in service....... Idaho SP and then maybe somewhere else (local or county, or college for example like my 91 GSP car) ........... prior to being sold to the first civilian owner.

My 91 GSP was taken out of service and transferred to a Georgia State owned college and in service there until sold in 2006.
