      The valve covers are from Pro-Form. I think they retail around $314.00 for the pair. You may have to hunt for them......I had to special order Mine.

      On your first photo of the inside of the front horn of the frame. Did you double plate the frame there? Or is that a section that you replaced?

      I really like the idea of the coilovers on the rear of an A-body. It is a good way to spread the springs w/o cutting into the frame rails. When your get some photos of the upper mounts please post. It is an interesting project.

      One question, with your coilovers what is the depth of them from the C/L of the axle front to rear? I don't think you are running a PHB or a Watt's link, but if you were would the coilovers require you to mount it further back than just behind the center pumpkin of the axle?

      BTW Nice work.

      I thought you could run AFCO C/O upside down? Or do you have to run it that way for coil clearance? How do you like those F1 tires?

      RJ,
      You can run C/Os ahead of axle tubes. Loss of motion ratio is very minor.
      The first step of becoming a better driver is to attend a track event, time yourself, and realize the fact you really suck.

      I'd love too...........are You buying?

      airrj1: Yes that area of the frame is double plated. While the car was sitting with the front end off with jack stands under the frame in that area, I noticed how much flex the frame had right there. I figured a litle gusseting couldn't hurt. The coilovers are about the same depth back as the stock rear shocks would be. WIth this configureation a PHB or Watts link shouldn't be necasary. The GW lower arms do a fantastic job of locating the rearend.

      Salt Racer: You can run those Afco's inverted which is what I'll do in front. In the rear I could'nt get the clearence to get the shocks upright enough with the upside down. The tires are Kuhmo V700 victoracers. They are the absolute coolist tire ever!!! I think the V stands for Velcro!

      I was wondering, did some of the convertibles come with a boxed frame or was that like on the conv. 55's and so on?

      Yes that is a Willwood dual. I didn't get a chance to try it on the track before I took everything apart again but I put about 200 street miles on it. It's worked great so far.
