it would look better doing that if you had left the louvers in the back window,i also saw a win light in the thaw vid,very cool,nice pic also.
I caught alot of grief over those louvers ,but they did kinda look cool .I sold them to a guy with a Dart street car who was drowling over them.I had to take them out anyway when i did the rear firewall so i let him have them .Thanks for the compliment on the win light Sam.Im starting to get the hang of Bracket racing ,but im still not crazy about it .Alot of these Nostalgia events i attend are doing the Bracket thing ,so if you cant beat'em you have to join'em  ...

But just wait for the Caltrac/mono crowd to come on here sayin' your '60 would be 1.45 and your front tires would be a foot in the air instead of a 1/2 inch.  (  )
A dead hooked tire is a dead hooked tire regardless of what makes it hook.My car doesnt have the setup motor or gear wise for a foot of air .Its 4.10 gears and a 1.76 low geared Powerglide ,with 3500 stall .All i was trying to prove is that it can work if adjusted right (which took lots of tries to get it right),and you can get good traction with cheap junk if you work at it .Im sure those guys will still be laughing at me though .I have a grand total of $42.00 in my suspension upgrades with the Craigslist slapper bars ,and the misc hardware  ...

Now take em off and put on a set of SS springs and no slapper bars and get a pic. with the wheels in the air you wont need a magnafying glass to see. If you look close on this pic you can see any light between the rear bumper and the track. Ladder bars on this one.
Nice wheelie ,but air is air .I win   .I didnt know that S/S springs would give me more motor ,convertor ,and gears to do those kinda wheelies  ...

This is for all of you that say a Mopar cant work with slapper bars.
Well, they work on every leaf sprung nova Ive ever seen. Why not a Dodge? The bar just look bad(ugly)IMO. Im just one of those kinda guys. What happens when u take them off?

I have always heard that they cant work cuz of the Mopars having short front spring segments in comparison to a Ford or GM .My Dart had nothing for traction devices when i got it and got 1.65- 1.68 60 foots most of the time plus would spin the slicks easily as the rearend would sqaut .It also bent the shocks from the rearend rolling up off the hit of the throttle .Once i got the Slapper Bars figured out my 60's went to mid to high 1.5 60 foots everytime and no wheel spin or spring wrap ,plus it lifts the front and back of the car on the hit of the throttle with them.Would Caltracs or S/S springs work on my car ? Sure they would .Would it be as cheap ? Not by a long shot .I had a few people in the pits walk by my Dodge in the pits and say "are those slapper bars on a Mopar "???
