You might have better luck in the race forum with this question being a drag car and all...


Looks like a mod took care of it already

What color was that Challenger? Im guessing it was Bobs Profab--Bondo Bob. He is a member here and does excellent work!

Plus, hes not that far from you, you could take your car to him for the work!

I looked at them all and went with Bobs Pro Fab front end.The quality and fit is head and shoulders above anything else I saw out there.

I also went with Bobs Pro Fab front end. The quality is second to none and installation is straight forward.

If your wanting to get rid of the torsion bars, I recommend the Alter-k-tion from RMS. I believe the Bob's Pro Fab unit still uses the torsion bars.

From previous reports, I would stay away from Magnum force.

Bob's eliminates torsion bars and uses coilovers. Check out Hitman's pic.

If you are a fabricator you could build your own. I used chassis works components.

We are finishing the install of a CAP unit. We bought the K with rack and the upper arms and had them modify our spindles for the front steer. We decided to keep the T bars for now but they offer the lower arms for coil overs as well.

We are extremely happy with the quality of the products and the tech has been fantastic! Ray from CAP is one smart guy!

Should have some on track testing very soon.

I've been VERY happy w/my Bob's Profab frontend. Fit was great installation was easy and the support from Bob is great.It's much easer to work on my car or install the headers.I was able to install a belly pan where before I don't think a belly pan or diaper would fit.I think it was a good investment in my race car.

Curious, why?

From what I have seen RMS seems better built all around. I'm not a fan of setups that use the stock shock towers to take the weight of the car.

Bobs stuff is awesome. Even the amount of time he takes to smooth everything off so you dont cut your hands all up installing it is included.

Bob took a look at my 70 Duster at the Halloween Classic last year and was supposed to give me a price on an upgrade but I never heard back. Sent a couple of emails and still no answer so he must be a busy man.


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph

Livin and lovin life one day at a time
