Crash Course
Q Thanks for printing my question about mounting my gas tank in my DeSoto trunk.
Anyway, this question is about safety bars in the doors of street rods. I may be wasting my time but is there a set way to add rectangular tubing between the door glass and the outer doorskin? Again, this may be overkill, but the DeSoto doors are so light and thin (18-gauge doorskins inside and out), it seems a natural for door rigidity, and some added crash safety, to add a couple of heavy wall tubes welded to the door hinge post and striker frame inside the suicide doors on both sides of the glass. Your thoughts?

A Nobody likes to think about being in an automobile accident, particularly in a street rod, but unfortunately it does happen, so your idea certainly has merit.
