Default 1979 Z Chrome Hooker Roll Bar

After searching for 5 years I finally found one. Just finished installing it last weekend, it really finishes the look I wanted for my Camaro. I thought it would be cool to share.

I like it, and I love the car, perfect late 70's style, and there's no hood better for a 2nd gen than an L88.

Back in the early to mid 90's you could not walk at any swap meet without stumbling over those chrome Hooker roll bars- seemed like every aisle.

Now thay are as rare as hens teeth.

Update on the make of the roll bar, I was pretty sure it was not a Hooker show bar. My friend Bob did some old magazine searching and is pretty sure it is a Competition Engineering Chrome bolting in from the early 1980s.
