I remember a lot of fast street cars having ladder bars back in the day.....they looked so kewL.

For a show car, they look perfect for a Day 2 car. For a car that does get driven, they ride horrible. It’s like riding on a hay wagon, or worse.

I had them on my Chevelle when I bought it 10 years ago. They lasted a very short time for multiple reasons.

The front brackets are welded to the frame......they’re actually still there! The rear was mounted normally.

Benjamin's Nova actually rides pretty nice with his NMW's, so I just bought a vintage set of chrome NMW's for Danny's '67 Camaro - now I just need a nice 12 bolt for his car....I don't feel like going through all the hassle of installing them on a 10 bolt only to swap in a 12 bolt later!!
