Hey Schonye those middle traction bars look familiar too aye...

Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
 

I was thinking that too. I'm thinkin they need to go back on. (big smile)
I had not seen slapper bars like those on Sam's car before. They really are a pretty unique piece in that you can leave that factory sway bar on, and you can adjust the snubber height with those slotted openings. If I'd have known about them back in the day, I probably would have put a set on.
Restoring them was a best guess situation. Looks like we may have guessed pretty close.

Schone those bars on Sam's car are killer and dead on IMO. Not sure they worked as good as the Lakewoods with more of the slapper type action but really unique. Love em!

Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
 

Sam...cool!

Al...way to go!! One Y-net member helping another [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]

Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
 

Al sent this cool Drag Dimension factory photo of the press that made the traction bar block that holds the rubber snubber. Where did you get this photo Al?
