I've been waiting for my Chrome roll bar for a about a month it was sent to the chromer 10/11/02 per FFR, I was told by someone (John?)at FFR who they transfer you to when inquiring about back ordered stuff that once they send it out "it's between the chromer and UPS" it's out of their hands..has anyone else gotten a response like this or had to wait this long..Don Maggiore

doesnt surprise me, just give it time. vince
yeah, well I used to live in Connecticut until about 5 years ago and it would have been nice to make a trip to pick it up, but I'd probably be freezing my butt off!!!!And believe it or not they really do still use the Pony Express,,,well once a year any way from Hashnife to Scottsdale..

Aughhh, I HATE platers. I think it's the fumes that gets to them. Try getting one of these done, typically takes 'em 2 months.

Rollbar?? Took delivery of kit 9/28. Was surprised to find an un chromed unit in my pile of boxes. Spoke to Joe who immediately issued an RMA and assured me that my chrome unit was in process. Yesterday received a huge box from Jethot containing my sidepipes (pitted going back). Spoke to Joe again, RMA issued. No impact to my build yet except private time with cool chrome stuff while alone. Sit tight, they will arrive.
Got my chrome roll bar about 1.5 months after receiving my kit, and I got my ceramic coated sidepipes about the same time. The roll bar was done by a place called Advanced Plating, in Tennessee (I think), and I can't remember who did the sidepipes, but it wasn't Jet Hot (I think it was a company up northeast somewhere.) Anyway, it really is in the hands of the platers once it leaves FFR, you could try getting their number and harassing them, but you probably won't have to wait too much longer.

I have always ASSUMED these roll bars are not really interchangeable.
Imagine Bending a 180 and haveing the ends come out exactly the same two times in a row.
ive always assumed the roll bar assembly was welded in place and the roll bar was removed and sent out to be plated.
OTHERWISE, why wouldnt they just have a bunch of pre chromed roll bars there and ship them out.
My point is, if you get another roll bar, it might be a true pain in the A$$ to get on your car.
I could be wrong.

They sent me an extra chrome rollbar, it was probably yours. I already sent it back. It is between the plater and UPS. They send chrome stuff to the plater with your shipping address. It goes straight from the plater to your house.
My roll bar came in about eight weeks. I think Mark Weber told me each roll bar is unique to the car so each is fit indidually. Thats why there is always a delay. The kit goes to you and your bar goes to the plater. I believe they ship them in some sig. group so depending where you get in on the shipment determines if you wait two weeks or 12. Took me 15 months to complete car so it did not impact my build.
Have fun and relax!
