These traction bars are on a car I just purchased and was curious if anyone knew anything about them. Good? Bad?

never saw anything like that in over 60 + years of playing with cars, owning a junkyard, and reading almost every car magazine dating back to the original 1948 hot rod issues.
it almost looks like a simple, home fabricated item, but it could have been mass produced by someone and sold through a performance dealership or a speed shop chain.
this item also shows i learn something new every day if i pay attention. my only problem with that is, at my age, i have trouble retaining what i learn unless i really go over it countless times like one would be preparing for a test back in high school.......

Slapper bars have no place on a car that handles.

I have a pair I ran on my road runner back in the 80s. I remember when I installed them, I had a couple friends sit on the back of the car so I could get them bolted down. I don't remember if they helped or not.

At least it looks like they made the front section longer for mopars.

Mopars had the pinion snubber so no real reason for them. Although i did like they way they looked (Lakewood style).
