[BaadAssGremlins] Re: What Traction Bars are YOU using??

["phl_campbell" <misteramx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Simms,

Hadn't heard of that one, the Cebby II, we talking like a '64-'66?  
Have any pictures?

Thats exactly what I saw when sizing up a universal set, it would be 
a real hack job.  And although my car is far from perfect, I thought 
I should be at least neat when it comes to traction.

  I'm going to chat with a welding buddy this weekend, he makes all 
sorts of stuff, roll bars, roll cages, push bars.  He's a Jeep guy 
and does good work.  I'm betting he can fab me a suitable set of 
traction bars and his prices are good.  His quote for a front push 
bar with provisions for driving lights...a case of beer and an 
afternoon!!
