    I am finishing a 64 ' A Body Special to look like a 60's gasser. Will campaign it as the "Freaki Tiki" and go for the 60's period correct appearance semi - Rat Rod look. Have battle scared 14" Bare Aluminum Torque Thrusts for Front and Hoosier Slicks for the back. Runs 13.4 @ 100 mph
    ( at 4200 ft elev, much faster at sea level ) but.... I need to find some ball joint spacers to raise the front end 2" or so to make it look right.

    Does anyone know of a source for ( Used, NOS or New ) for A-Body Ball joint spacers? Please help me out if you have an idea. ( Thanks in advance for your help )

    This car is soooooo much fun. Chrome engine and running with no hood. People just about drive off the road and rice grinders ( even WRX ) shrink in fear!!!!

    Will post pics when I get the front lifted.

    THX,

    Dr. Doug

    The set I took off my '65 GTO were homemade; I could post some pics if you are interested in making your own.

    Wow. Beautiful! I never would have guessed that there was a demand or anybody making them....:TU:

    The only thing I would caution you about is to make sure that the control arm does not rub on the inside of your wheel after you install them. That's why I had to take mine out; I went from a 15" wheel back to the original 14" wheels and the A arms hit on the inside bead.:Smarty:
