<span style="font-size: 11pt">If you are referring to the &quot;Drag Dimensions&quot; bars, those are mine. They were added to my '70 Nova as a Christmas present given from the original owner wife to hubby in 1970 (you gotta love that woman [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]!). When I bought the car, I did not know the brand of slapper bars as there were no decals or other markings to tell me the manuafacturer. Al Corporon (AlsV8vair) figured out what they were and let me know [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]. I believe he had family members that worked at the DD factory (in Canada), so he probably has a pretty good handle on the history of that company. Al did make up some decals (which you see here ) and may still have some. My bars were restored by the talented masters of </span><span style="font-style: italic"> <span style="font-weight: bold"> <span style="color: #3333FF"> <span style="font-size: 14pt">&quot;Deuce Heaven&quot;</span> </span> </span> </span> <span style="font-size: 11pt">up north in the hinterland known as Iowa. What do you plan to do with them?

Check these out. Vintage Chevelle lower traction bars. They are NOS. Anyone seen anything like these ever? I haven't!

Those blue A-body traction bars are something I can remember seeing in the Eighties at a local speed shop. I'm pretty certain that they were manufactured by a company named MAS.

You're right on that account. I have a number of old Racing Unlimited (long defunct, and they sold &quot;MAS Roadster&quot; axles and such) catalogs and I just looked at one. There's a picture of those listed as &quot;4010 Chevelle, Tempest, Olds, etc&quot; and described as &quot; The ultimate for coil/spring control. Features soild bushed control arms that replace the stock arm. Easy to install. Effective preload towers---So much adjustment you can raise the car 6&quot; just by tightening the U bolts. Can be run with or without U bolts intact. Fits all Buick special, Chevelle, GTO, Tempest, Olds 442, and F85&quot;

The guy I got these from couldn't remember the brand name but said he purchased them in the mid 70's and never used them. He ended up using a ladder bar setup instead.

Very cool. Would like to see underside and a picture of an advertisement for them if anyone has one. What are your plans for them?
