Anyone install the Hard Core Bar??

[Kathryn]

I found the bar I want - the Hard Dog, Hard Core short version works with a hard top. From everything I've read it sounds complicated to install. I've made about 20 phone calls to various shops and dealers. The one person (at the Van Nuys dealer) who said he'd be willing to install didn't sound like he'd ever done this particular bar. Does anyone out there know who installs these??? I don't want to do this myself - I'll happily pay someone who knows how to do this. Thanks in advance for any info.

I'm doing an install in about a week. Hard Dog, Hard Core, Hardtop, double diagonal. I'm doing the install myself.
If you were to look for a shop, a body & paint shop would be a better choice for a roll bar install. Figure on about 4 to 6 hours labor, at shop rates in LA, that would be $350 to $500.
An alternative is to look for the various club 'tech days'. Schedule with the organizer, announce on the email list, bring some food & sodas and you'd probably find some people who could help out or even do most of the work.
