Title: Period Wheelie Bars
Post by: Ole on August 22, 2006, 16:17:25 pm
Hey racers,
Guess it's time for some wheelie bars... Now I managed my car to hook up (1.470 60ft so far..) the muffler hits the track ???

I want to make some wheelie bars like they were used back in the day, the type connected to the casting ends of the axle tubes. This shot from 1974 shows what I'm talking about:

Seems like this type of wheelie bars was common in the 70s, I've seen them on several cars.

Has anybody detailed pictures or drawings? Who made them back then? Any informations welcome!

Saludos,
Ole
