There’s one thing to consider when acquiring all the pieces and that is to use a V8 bell crank for a V8 and a /6 bell crank for a /6, don’t try to modify the wrong one. The ratios are different between the two.

Your idea is sound, what gauge material are you using?

Basically it’s just a headlight mounts the grill attached to them also. The bumper filler is below the grill and headlights. I believe the fenders are the same between the two cars but the hood is different and there are fender extensions.

The skin is the same from 76-80 but I’m not sure about the inner structure. On a fiberglass deck lid I wouldn’t worry about the inner especially if you pin it on…

Well I’m sure I don’t have the only set of eyes that find the crazy amount of ads constantly at the top of the list uninviting , especially when you consider how many people actually respond daily on this site. It wasn’t that long ago that it was much busier. I’m impressed by the determination...

For what it’s worth I’m installing mono leafs and Caltracks on my little Fairlane with a narrowed 8.8. One of the reasons I went with the mono leafs was because the Fairlane leafs are 2.25” and very prone to sagging. Caltrack makes brackets to mount the 2.5” wide mono leafs about the only thing...

There is a lot of cars on the road with Caltrack bars and springs, the only thing that I have ever heard is that they tend to make noise sliders included.
