Door crash bars
Is it legal to remove them and any tips on how to on a 1973 Nova?
TIA Already gave up. |

However , seeing there's no tech, it's not enforced anymore. PM me and I'll tell you how I would do it on a '73 Nova bracket car ;-) |
Re: Door crash bars
Not legal but on our '87 Grand Prix bracket car, I chopped off both ends at the welds with a cutoff wheel, (After cutting out most of the inner door panel to make room). It wasn't easy but damn, they sure are HEAVY!

Mine were easy because we made sheet metal door panels, as Devo said you will be amazed how much they way. My Nova was a bracket car and weighed 2520 minus driver with sbc aluminum heads.

I would never take the crash bar out of the driver's door.

...actually, my '66 nova never had crash bars, maybe we should require them. |

Re: Door crash bars
We race a couple slow class cars (N/SA up)
They all have NHRA legal rollbars and 5 pt. Harness. You can be running 100 MPH and get hit by a 150 - 160 MPH Factory car thru the top end! When a fast car was 125 - 130 MPH = I did not worry like I do now! |
Re: Door crash bars
Not safety related but a 70 Cuda SS/DA car I owned had fiberglass crash bars installed to look like the originals. Pretty creative car with some factory help back in the 70's.
