Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
What is the story on those wide bars? I've also seen a set which are wider at the bottom and tapper to a narrower size on the top where the snubber mounts.
Anyone know the historiy on either?

Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
The bars on the Black car have been on it since the 70's. They are Lakewood's and look very much like the Grumpy design which was featured in the Hot Rod build up of the 69 Z they did back in spring of 69.
The car also had Gabriel Hijackers in the rear and Hurst Drag Shocks in the front, a lakewood scatter shield, Edelbrock intake and M/T Valve covers when it came out of a 30 year hibernation.

Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
The Mr.gasket shocks are dated 9D69, The Hurst shocks were in the original box NOS and dated 1970. The fly-eye is the earlier version with the snap ring. These shocks I redid with a rattle can paint and some sanding and had Dennis Cumby do the decals. The car already has a pair of vintage Gabriel air shocks in the back. To say the least he did another perfect job on them. He is the decal king. May do a set of Thrush header mufflers that I have and a vintage shackle kit. Its fun doing the stuff we did 35 years ago. Its how these cars evolved. Thanks Mike for the help.
