New guy with a 50 Coupe
More like a Gasser style I'm going for. 50 Chevy Coupe, installed fuel cell, widened trailer fenders for wheel tubs, widened fenders 1" from stock, made rollpan from 53 decklid, lower quarters made from a new wheelbarrow. Here it is so far.

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).

Welcome to CHR! Appears that it will be a wicked 50 when completed. Keep the pics and updates coming.

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.
Trust everyone once. Just be cautious of what may be lost.

I've got insurance. I haven't filed a claim yet to find out if it's good or not. I get what you're saying though.
