Photo 988 - Found the photo of the traction bars from when I first purchased them. As you can see they needed a little help.


Photos 989 - 990 - As you will notice I did not go with the majorty pick of yellow. Sorry but I like being different. I took Jon Mello's comment over on sYc to heart and I "aged" the bars to hopefully look more the part and style of the car.

Photos 997 - 998 - Test fit of one of the bars. Obviously I do not have it tight or adjusted yet. It was purely mockup and to see how well I will like the bars on the car. At the end of the day I am happy with the look and to be perfectly honest that's all that really matters.

It depends:

If you want old school - yellow
If you want a more aesthetically pleasing look to the eye - orange.

But then again, I’m biased-I have never liked yellow anything on a car.

Really have enjoyed following this thread - great project and great results!

I think the white contrasts well and am amazed at the underside of the trunk pan clean up.

I've gotta be honest.  I am very happy; at least at this point, on how the car is coming around..  Is it gonna be a show winner?  Hell no but then again that is not why I decided to proceed with this project the way I have..


Kinda neat to see a side by side comparison from almost a year ago vs today.

Absolutely incredible.  Can't even believe it's the same car.  Thanks for sharing this with us.
