'34 gets a nerf

I couldnt wait any longer, when I built the car in my mind, it always had a traditional football style nerf bar up front. I found a guy to roll out some 3/4" OD tubing and tried to mach the layback of the grill from the side and the "V" in the grill diamond up front. And of course old mags and books for reference. Here's what I came up with:

Nice Chris. looks goodly

 

looking good!

 

That is pretty damn cool.

 

Very nice... say, where did the term "nerf bar" come from anyhow? Always wondered that...

 

That's nice....very "dirt-tracky" !!

 

that looks good. Do you think it would keep the water leaking devils at bay??
I look foreward to seeing it at the drags.

 

I see you have a copy of Fifties Flashback on the floor!

 

That looks trad! Good work!

Looks great. I'm going to try building a tubing bender so I can make one for my car.

 

looks killer man!

 

Very cool I need something similar on my coupe.

 

The term NERF BAR is dervived from the action of NERFING.
NERFING or TO NERF was a expresion used by traditional circle track racers describing the action of bumping, or pushing during the course of a race.
Hence the term NERF BAR, a bar to protect the race car during a NERF.

 

Makes sense to me! Thanks for the explanation.

 

Yea thanks for the history, I was hoping someone would know.
Ya learn so much from this place.

 

Nice, very nice, I really liked that car at the hamb drags and now it is lookin even cooler, hope to see it again this yr?

 

the nerf bar looks good. Like to see more pics of your car.

 

Love it!
