Satin black if you want to be stealthy. If you want to show them off then yellow or maybe Chevy Orange to match the engine. Heck, you could chrome them!

The welds are probably as bad on these as they are on yours.

There were plenty of people makeing bars then and any color would work for me. I don't think I'm the only one out there who buys new parts today and will re-paint them before I put them on my car.

NMW and many others did paint things, but the quality of the application was often poor. I pint things sometimes just becuase it blends well with th overall buil. Don't want too may colors clashing. I think many street racers would flat black a set of traction bars - probably not all for the same reasons.

Yellow, Orange, Red...whatever you like. Just out oc curiosity, how do you know they are homemade? Did you buy them fromthe original fabricator? Lots of things were manufactured back then that look worse than some of the things produced out of a guys garage today.

No these were definitley homemade. I had to grind down some of the Mud Dobber welds that were on them.

those bars look similar to ones I have seen before. Actually look a little better than home made but I can't really see them close up. White or yellow IMO.

Definitely agree. That was my experience from ancient times too...L-O-L.

Did they ever offer white traction bars? I am getting bored of the yellow but don't want to lose the &quot;day 2&quot; look by going white.

[Hemicolt]

I've seen white ones in old mag. stories from back in the day.
But I can't say for sure if the owners did or didn't paint them.

[Plowman]

Yes the white Traction Bars were around for Day-2 cars. *Paul

E/T traction bars were white.
