Are there any apple scripts that could control Finders side bar ?
I was thinking of two.
One for putting the current folder into the side bar and another to remove the bottom most folder in the sidebar.
So it would flow kinda like tabs. Another one that would be nice is an open new window button.
Any hope ?

No - the sidebar is not accessible via AppleScript.

You can of course write an applescript that opens a new window and place it in the sidebar.
If you just want a new folder in the current one, customize your toolbar, there's that function to add.

i tried the auto record from apple script, it just records the action of me pressing the folder, but no pull or add. Why won't apple give more control

Open the Finder's dictionary in the Script Editor (menu File -> Open Dictionary...) and you'll see what's possible with the Finder and what not.

Click "Open Dictionary..." in the "File" menu. After some seconds a big list with all scriptable applications on your local drives will pop up. In this list select "Finder". Click the "Open" button in the lower right hand corner. The so-called "Finder dictionary" will open, containing all Finder classes and commands in a somewhat technical description.

You can do that - but it's so slow compared with Command-N. (because the toolbar can only run Applescript Applications.)
see for yourself: paste the following into Script Editor and save it as an 'Application' then drag the built app to the toolbar in the Finder.
[php]
tell application "Finder" to make new Finder window
[/php]
