    I was thinking of running the long oval nerf bar bumper on my fendered coupe and wondered if anyone has seen or used the nerf style bumper from the little Legend race cars.. They look like the 'Speedway Motors' ones except they are chrome and assembled for about the same money.. Any pics of nerf bar bumpers on fendered A's would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks in advance......

    The ornamental iron dealer, Ram Cast, sells 1 inch U bends for under $10 a piece. I think that is a lot cheaper then the Speedway parts.

    How is a nerf bar defined and how is it different to a bumper.
    Are those single item over rider bolt items you see attached to chassis horns also know as nerf bars???
