I really don't have any very clear shots. This is what I have in a 63 Belvedere

I love the idea of keeping the rear seat but hate how running the rear bars through the package tray messes up the side view of the c pillar / back window area, probably the most iconic styling cue on these early b bodies. If you run the bars through the seat area you save the looks on the outside but hurt it on the inside.

I matched the angle of the rear glass to minimize the impact of the down bars in my installation and kept the horizontal portions above the top of the side glass. I even sloped the main hoop sides to match the angle of the side glass. For safety I added brackets to fasten the shoulder belts to. After glass tint I don't think much will be visible.

Not an early B so I realize the glass is much different, but I matched the glass angle with the rear bars in my 67 hardtop. I Really like how it turned out, but with the bars so close to my glass, the bars were hard to touch up after install, and cleaning the glass is sort of a pain. Still worth the effort of custom bending the bars to a template though, in my opinion.
