Anyone building the big body cars? We have had some interest in the past about these cars, so we decided to look into building some kits.
any comments or suggestions would be great.

I have a 67 two door and a 67 wagon, the coupe is a driver, but the wagon is torn apart . Both in the family since new, the coupe will probably be my project after my camaro. I thought you guys had been making parts for them for several years, got something new in mind?

I have a 70 impala 4drht that I am building, its already lowered on drop springs but I have always wanted to go airride.

My dad also has a 70 caprice 4drht that he is building and would probably consider going airride at some point in the future.

Have you guys started selling the strongarms etc... for these cars yet?

and are they going to be the coolride setup or shockwaves?

I think it would be cool if yall did that...it would help to bring some more of the big cars into the pro-touring scene...hopefully

This is my 65 409. I did the air ride tech kit from about 5 years ago. i would love to upgrade to the strong arm kit upfront though JB, how much?

These are the kits, Front kit uses shockwaves and strong arms, rear kit uses our coolride system. Nice cars.....

Glad you now make these parts, but for the cost of replacing a-arms, it would have been great to make use of an upgraded spindle. These old impalas have very limited brake options, and suffer from the same camber gain problems as an early camaro. Put a corvette spindle on it and it's a winner!!

So when are you guys gonna build the '65 to '68 Ford Galaxie StrongArms and Shockwaves? I know you have them for the '64s, but, I am just waiting for the '65's to be available. Hopefully you can do something within the next year....
