I will admit they sure looked cool, but sure aren't worth the effort. Spend your money elsewhere..

I think I will. On to finding a set for front runner wheels Crager's, Keystone, Slot Mags ect.

You can get the ladder bar look with a set that just replaces the lower control arm. I have seen a few sets on ebay from time to time.
The ladder bars that replace the lower control arms, might not be from the aftermarket company's like Lakewood,MNW etc..
They were rubber bushed as well so other than being lower than the stock control arm they should act the same way.
The race tracks do not want to see any suspension or other part mounted lower than the bottom of your rim.
This rule is in place for safety. If a tire goes flat and the part digs into the track it can cause a car to loose control.
I know the axle mount bolt on ladder bars sit quite low and may not be legal to run at tracks that have a good safety tech in place.
The bolt on lower control arm ladder bars might sit to low as well?

Nice car!!

Here are the ladder bars that I was referring to in my last post.
These may be home made?

Sam Griffith has a set of those on his '69 L78 Chevelle.

I seen that. I have a offer on a set just waiting to hear back.

Never heard back from the guy with the ladder bars but got a smoking deal on a set of boxed lower control arms just need to get a rear sway bar next. Maybe one day we will get ladder bars.

How Day 2 are these wheels for front runners?

Too late for day 2 in my opinion, but that's just my opinion.

Those Welds scream The 80's to me, JMHO.
