Hi All, Yes, we've had this discussion before and I've not seen or heard of a design that I like YET. I am looking for (or may have to design) a set-up to allow me to just clamp on to the front end like the bug tow bar does. I don't want to have to take off the bumper, undo the bolts to the front end, add a plate to the front end, or anything else. I want to be able to have a bar so that when I find my '62 Sunroof Notch/'62 Cabriolet Notch/'62 Cabriolet T-3 Ghia (I can wish can't I) I can hook up to the front end with out removing, altering, adding or welding to the original car. I guess I DO have the perfect method, my 18' flatbed trailer. :( Any body else interested in my dream tow bar, or am I alone here?
