<VV> Re 64 GREENBRIER WITH ROLL BARS HEADED TO CRUSHER SOON

[Ebarr19 at aol.com]

Talking about roll bars, I have been working on my corvan and could not  
believe how strong these bodies are built, they have built-in roll bars, maybe 
 the 8-door has some weakness in the center ? Mine is built like a tank !!! 
  ( not counting the bottom rust I am repairing ).

You mean  bars that reduce body roll? Commonly called sway bars on this

Or  bars inside the vehicle to prevent roof collapse in event of an 
accident,  usually race related, commonly called roll bars on this list?

Or a  third option.

I may be sounding like a smart a%^, but that is not my  intention. I 
really don't know what you are offering from the  story.

No matter what they are, I hope someone saves them for  reuse.

I know what you mean by "does NOT roll good". I moved my 62  parts coupe 
last weekend to start disassembly, and it was a difficult roll  compared 
to when I last moved it. Not moving again as a whole  car.
