Hot Rods Show us your front and rear spreader bars/custom bumpers/nerf bars.

Very cool brackets Gary.

 

My '40 PU, ready for final welding, and off to the plating shop.

 

FINE looking bumper! Gary

 

Great thread, wondering what I’m going to do, nerfs or bumpers

 

Let's see more please.

 

Pretty sure my '32's front spreader bar, made from a nuclear reactor internal component, is the only one like it in the universe. Ribbed solid stainless steel. Polishes up real nice and I don't nee d headlights at night. Just kidding on the headlight part.

 

Thank you for keeping this up.

 

This is after I removed the gas tank, bobbed and raised the frame rails, re-used the spreader with 32 style ribbed aluminum end caps that had to be welded and redrilled to fit the 34 frame, and the same nerfs on the ends as before. License plate is mounted to the spreader.

 

After building a rolled pan, this is what I did for a bumper.

 

Here's my front spreader bar
Front license plate bracket modified to fit the "V" style spreader bar

 

Model A brake cross shaft used for a spreader bar.

 

1 1/4 in. bar, ends bent to match body contour, mounts to frame and lower edge of body, pretty simple.

 

Mine's another simple one.

 

Because they haven't gotten rave reviews from HAMB traditionalists I'll give a little support, here is my "V" spreader bar shamelss repeat.



About the closest thing to traditional on my car.

 

Well I guess I'll post my homebrew bar. With homebrew grill shell and headlight stands.

.

 

Couple more.

 

Can't see the rolled pan that well as I hadn't learned the camera yet, 2011, too low or too high. Sigh....

 

How about no spreader bar?

 

On my 34 3W coupe I run a length of 2" tubing through a tube roller and put a radius on it to match the radius of the rear of the body.

 

Polished stainless steel nerf bars on my '46 pickup
currently for sale in the for sale section

 

Here is mine. The nerfs were cut from 1/2" unpolished scrap/waste stainless plate.

I made up my own template and the boys that I got the plate from also did the cutting then I polished them at home.

The spreader is stainless tube with mounts welded on the the moon tank and number plate holder

 

The only thing unusual about mine is it is 2" of solid stainless steel bar. The only thing my pal had laying around. Quite heavy, keeps the front end down

 

I'm aware this isn't a nerf bar, but it kinda looks like one.
