I'm interested in comments RE a bumper for my '31. I don't expect it to protect me if I'm rear-ended by an 18-wheeler but I'd like some protection from an out-of-control golf cart (they're thick as fleas around here).
I will tryy to post a picture of one I saw on H.A.M.B.

Anybody have an idea how I could find one like this?

Well, I don't know anybody that sells them, but I am lucky enough to have a tubing bender and I make my own. I have one like your pic on my '27T roadster. Made from 1" x .065" wall polished stainless tubing. If you can find someone with a tubing bender they are really easy to build. I always built the nerf bars and bumpers for our sprint cars, so those are a piece of cake.

Speedway has a U-weld kit, still needs mounting brackets...

Thanks for the photo. It looks just like what I'm looking for. You might think about making them for a little spare-time cash.

FastFord,
Thanks for the info. Most of the
bars seem to be for sprint cars and midgets. I once drove a sprint car after it and the driver had crashed. The owner was in traction and his crew were not drivers. Scared the p*** out of myself. I was racing Bugeye Sprites in those days. I appreciate your efforts.
Best wishes,

I have bent 7/8 DOM on my Harbor Freight pipe bender to make hairpins. We had Nerf bars on the 31 chrysler roadster in the 50's, a buddy made them in Highschool shop> With the HF bender you have to cut the pieces long to work in the die, then trim off the excess.

did you look to see if this would work ?

Nerf Bar Kit

What would your nostalgia rod be without nerf bars? This kit allows you to build your own nerf bars the way you would want them. Includes two 36" and 7-3/4" long, 1" .120 wall straight tubing and two 3" radius U-bends 11" long. You will have to cut and weld your own brackets.

Thanks for your response. I think I'll have to search for a metal shop in my area.

Most race car shops have a tubing bender.

Thanks for your help. I'm looking at another rear bumper that I think I can be done locally
