on my 68 conv. there is a peice that has tabs welded to the crossmember in front of rear end two peices then bolt to them and the rear end and extend past to the spring plate, what is this ? the welds on the front tabs look nice like factory the peice has been on the a long time if not original please help if you can i cant find anything on the web

There were some traction bars that looked like what you describe, but they weren't factory installed...unless you happen to have a "factory" racer.
I may have some pics of what the bar looked like. I'll see if I can dig them up. Do you have any pics of what you have, and could you post them if you do?


btw...Motion Performance used these type bars on a lot of their cars...Adams' Apple2008-08-30 14:24:39

Not really detailed, but it should look similar to what you are describing. The front mounts would have been tabs welded to the frame.
