Nerf bars and bumpers...

Let's see some pics of your custom nerf bars or bumpers.

I saw a pic once of a used car lot in LA, circa 1950 with a Duece roadster that had a full bumper...it looked pretty cool!

Attached are my Nerf bars and Front bumper of my Track T. I just got them back from Chrome Plating but have not had the time to take new pictures.

 

Damn, craftsmanship, taste, and tradition, all at the same time. Thats as good as it gets.

 

I removed the bumpers and took the guards off and mounted them as "Henrys original Nerf Bars"..

I made these, 1 1/4" solid stainless.

Mine is off an old Hot Rod...

 

I just fitted up these 1936 bumper guards on my A frame horns.

 

George Lang's '31 A Slant Window Town Sedan. Pic from about 1962.

 

I'm getting ready to fab up some nerf bars for my 34 Dodge. Anyone else have any pics? I'd love to get some ideas.

 

From the fifties, I reckon, they're heavy as heck.

 

I used to own the bars on Nads car, and can confirm they came off an original 50's rod. The real deal. Were on a late 30's GM (Olds?) with a fully chromed suspension, show-car style.

 

Cool, I'd forgotten that, I got 'em from Anitbilly. They're still on there, they need rechroming though, one day.

 

I snapped this shot of Vance's rod at the Road Devils gig last year.

few more pics I've been saving.

 

Wish I knew how to post pictures. My profile shows the bumper I made.

 

Thanks bill

 

That's "Bull," and you're welcome.

 

here's a local surviver, these things are solid rod I think, I seen his kids climbing on them and they didn't budge

Not only can't post but can't read. Thanks BULL.

 

I love this car, I remember a thread with the whole article about it somewhere around here. I remember it was from Houston, too. Anyone got a link to the thread?

 

OK, so I gotta ask the question, where did the word "nerf" come from?

 

Anybody have some nerf pictures on 39-40 Fords?

 

Here's mine 1"od stainless about 40.00 bucks worth and no chrome costs

 

Made a few sets of these years ago ...

 

Wow, I love this hot rod, never seen it before.

 

These were built by Dave Gail (Just a Hobby) and are original to the car, which he also built (amazing set of deuce rails on this thing).
