Mine is also presently under construction. I studied a lot of pics in this thread as well as other sources for inspiration. I'll post pics when it's right and done.
Marty, Man that looks sweet, the way that licence plate bar comes together is a simple addition that adds a lot. Well done! Wow that picture got big I guess thats what I get for stealing it!
Thanks for the compliment, if you are interested, I did a thread (Tech Week: Rear bumper/Nerf Bar build) on this one.
I made many isometric sketches, trying to get the simplest, neatest nerf bars for the roadster. This is what I finally came up with... Ron
Thanks for posting this tip. I thought it would work well on my car, so I bought one recently. I like it.
I've always loved Nerf bars. I'll be modeling the front one on my '40 after the one on the front of Chuck De Heras' '40 Ford coupe, and my Dad and I built the one for the rear of the car awhile ago.
bringin' the thread back from the dead because it's full of awesome... and i dig nerf bars something fierce... (ok, so only the roadster has 'em, but damn it's a sweet little car...)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Old school nerf bars at their best! HRP
It means 'bump', or 'nudge'. There used to be a place in Southern Cali, out in the valley, called 'The Nerf Bar". I went in there a few times, never met any gearheads, but there was open season on 'split tail'! Neat little place, off Roscoe Blvd. 1967...
