Thread: New guy with a 50 Coupe

One of the most beautiful body styles ever made. Kudos on using the wheelbarrow. I used one once to make a firewall indentation.
Roll bar? Roll cage? Yes, no, maybe? I can help you to do it correctly (SFI certified technical inspector).

That's where I got the idea, a freind of mine told me they used one in the firewall. I knew I wanted to go with a rollpan instead of a bumper (maybe just a pushbar). A stock replacement lower rear quarter wasn't going to help me any. One thing I hadn't thought about was the wheelbarrow tub being heat treated, it was kindof tough and springy. I might go with a single rollbar, but a 3" chop is in order. Might be a good time to put it in huh?

Welcome to CHR. Great looking Chevy youve got going on there! I just bought a 51 hardtop. Cant wait to pick it up Wednesday. Here's a shot of mine.
