That's CJ's eBay ad, same price in their online store with the free shipping. Scott Drake one is $31.00 or so.

I have one of those sitting in a box (Well, from LMM, slightly different shape). Am I to drill holes in the top of the aprons to mount it?

Drill baby, drill!

The two top holes on each side, correct? I should have holes there originally, right? And the side holes line up with the spring covers?

I actually had a guy tell me that drilling those holes would greatly weaken the structure of the front end.

He was driving a 2.3L convertible with 30 lbs. of fake plastic chrome adhered to various different parts of the car.

ahh yes, the Pep Boy's chrome package

I keep searching and everyone says 1 hole exists, and you have to drill 1 more hole. I have 0 holes on top?

'65-'66 have one hole on top already, never looked at '67 and up.

Aha, that must be the difference. THanks!

Just bought one. Should help aligning up the new section I have to weld in next week.

I installed the bar

it fits great

had to drill 2 new holes using the shock towers as a template

I just put mine in as well BUT I'm on the fence about drilling the two top holes. Considering the bar's function is primarily to prevent compression inward on the shock towers I doubt the top holes are necessary for regular driving and without them I can quickly pull the bar and put the bolts back in for that stock look at shows.

The paint will not be presentable under it after you remove it, I suggest either going all in or none at all. Besides, stock is boring.
