Sam Strano 22mm hollow rear bar, Pics :)
I finally got a chance to install the Strano 22mm hollow bar (Red powdercoat). Powdercoated the saddle brackets with Silver Chrome, endlinks are Red & Silver Chrome. I have to say this bar is a much better fit on the MOSER 12 bolt rearend. The previous BMR (21mm solid) rear bar hung down quite a bit from the bottom of the center section on the MOSER. I even questioned BMR a few times on how the fit was not very good. The Strano bar tucks up just like the stock bar would on a 10 bolt rear-end. Weight on the 22mm hollow bar is only 8 lbs +/- , which is extremely light for a rear bar. I would definitely reccomend this bar to anyone considering an upgrade, especially if you have a 12 bolt rear-end.

Very nice.
Do you take the car to any carshow's? I'm sure you would win most of them because there really aren't a lot of late model muscle type cars that are that highly modified and still that clean.

I think your's is still cleaner and yours has a lot more apperiance type mods. You powdercoated the Strano bars, have polished peices, etc... So you still have the best one out there.
Of course you would need to trailer it to the carshow or it wouldn't be as clean.

INTIMID8's car is one bad ****. If there is a car that I would give props to more than my own it has to be his car from SPEEDinc ! That car is on a whole different level with the twin turbo setup. I have purchased alot of stuff from SPEED INC and they are a great shop to deal with on F-body purchases ! Now you guys know I even idolize other F-bodies. Mine is probably as clean, but I don't have anthing on that 357 CI Twin Turbo setup !
