Yeah, and we all know it's a small price to pay for looking sh*t hot!

They appear to hang below the bottom rim of the wheel, not good if you get a flat tire. I recall that being a no-no with some sanctioning bodies or vehicle safety regs. They do look cool though.

Good eye its in the NHRA rule book and may be in other sanctioning bodies rule book.
They are day two cool though.

They should have called these traction bars "wheel-savers"!

@ questions.
1) Application? Guy I got them from dragged Camaros, but he hoarded everything. Can anyone confirm the application/usage?
2) Does anyone recognize what brand and age these are? They appear to have medium blue paint under the black.
As always, Thanks.

I don't know how a guy can know so much about these vintage parts, but I am grateful!
You did not say, but would like to pin down the application? A few of the braces/bracketry threw me off, but then I thought maybe one bar was made for several applications? So this bar might work on Fomoco s &amp; Mopars? ...In addition to Chevs

I have another real cheap looking set I got from the same place that I will post to id, as well. They have an unusual oval snubber.
Yes, I would be interested in the decal, at least to get a picture to duplicate , if permitted , or to buy

The bars might also be MAS they had the same blue color. let me check my old catalogs give me a day or so. It appears the bar were originally Chevy and someone welded on the FOMOCO brackets??? I have seen pics of them on Camaros etc and those Fomoco brackets were not on them.
