Re: Day 2 parts discussion
OK, so here are some pics of my slapper bars.
[img:center]  [/img] As you can see in the above picture, the leaf is a little bent. It appears that they were mono's that someone added two extra leafs to. The tube measures 1 1/2" square. [img:center]  [/img] [img:center]  [/img]

Re: Day 2 parts discussion
Yep, somebody made those up in their shop but you can tell they are old-probably late 60's early 70's. . I would blast em and paint em up.

Re: Day 2 parts discussion
School me on how you know that they are home made? I would never know the difference. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]
All that I know is, I have and open rear that would get posi in the garage, so I would guess the rear is either going or those things actually help plant the tires???

I think the giveaway is the welds in the back are very cobbled/amaturish. Almost looks as if they welded them together piece by piece while on the car. I would bet they were made in someones metal shop class in HS. The snubbers are probably Lakewood as well as the the spring clamp bolts or possibly Mr. Gasket

Re: Day 2 parts discussion
Ha! With all the rust on them, I hadn't even noticed the ugly welds. I guess that's why I have never seen this style. They are back woods slappers. Cool! I think I'm just gonna run them like you said. Blast them and paint them. Adds some character. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]
