Nice choice on the valve covers I recently bought a set with a set of the hard to find M/T breathers however I’m polishing mine! Your car looks great.

Thank you! Its coming together nicely now!

Now onto finding a set of Cragar S/S or slot mags for the front and Lakewood ladder bars for the rear!

In terms of ladder bars is it best to use the style that replaces the lower control arms or bolt to the sides?

??

I had a set of the bolt on Lakewood ladder bars on my '67. The bars were longer than the lower control arms, so it screwed up the suspension geometry and made the ride very stiff.

I had a set of the NMWs which I believe are the same as the Lakewood stuff. The car rode as if it didn't have any suspension and on the track it was even worse. I quickly pulled them off and was glad I did because they were cracking the frame where they bolted up. And this was even after I made a .250 reinforcement plate for the inside of the frame where it bolted to.

I just took the mount off of the front and left the bars on it. I thought they looked cool.

YIKES! I like the look but don't want to effect or damage the car!

I like the look but don't want any of the horror stories.
