Hello

I am looking into replacing my K Frame with a tubular kind with Coil overs.
The duster is a race car. Wanting to go with rack and pinion front end.

There was a guy on here selling the complete kit.
Does anyone know him?

Thank you very much.

Bill Walden

I have looked at those at the swap meets in PA.
There was an individual that made the kits from his house I believe.
I think his name was Bob?

Thank you for the reply.

The guy you are thinking about is Bob Leeth. AKA Bondo Bob.
Bob's Pro Fab located in Ohio
He hasn't been on Moparts for 9 years and his website is gone.
Last I saw of him was years ago at a dragstrip and his car was for sale.
I should have bought it. The car and the chassis work were beautiful.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

I did find his website, Sent him an email as well as I am going to call him.

He maybe out of business. There will be a follow up to this thread when I find out.

Thank you Moparts for all you do in this hobby.

If I could get the information to someone else making this type of stuff that would be great.

Thank you for the lead.
But not sure if they can customize it to my car. Meaning CM tubing.
Also not sure if i want Mustang 2 parts.

Thank you for your ideas. Much appreciated.

Apparently Bob is out of business. I have tried to call with no response.
And email bounced back as well.

If someone has 1 of his kits or know someone with a kit, that they are not going to use or are going back to factory please get in touch with me.

Maybe I should do a wanted ad in A-Body's for that.

Or go with one of the others that folks have suggested.

I really liked what Bob had done. Should have bought it years ago.

Thank you Moparts and Tom.
