If you go to pro-touring Gallery and under second Gen .Than go to Dale Buergers 79 camaro their is some pictures of the Herb Adams Braces. their are simple to install I bought the Whole kit in 1984. I think the firewall struts were about 79.00 back than.I know moroso used to sell them. But I haven,t seen them lately.

I ran the Herb Adams on my TA, theymade a two piece one for the cars with A/C. Don't know about you Chevy motored F bodied but the Pontiac motor especially with A/C was a real PAIN to change the spark plugs on withthem. Added a good 20 minutes to the job and you had to jack it up and go through the fenderwell/A arm hole.
