    $219 WELL SPENT

    Just got my 55 back from best front end shop in town after installing CPP stock appearing upper A arms with 5 degrees more caster, what a great product and complement to the 500 PS box. . I did not want crappy looking tubular on my vintage Gasser.

    The thing I liked the most is they look just like the oem stuff I took off except more caster, I don't take a lot of pictures of anything nut my dogs and they are not electronic.

    I thought gassers were supposed to have straight axles not a-arms. The gasser frame we built last year had a Speedway straight axle like a lot of them do.

    Any who the hell uses film anymore? I thought it was obsoleted years ago with carburetors and rotary phones!

    Now look who is off topic, unless you are passing info on sodomizing the stock frame or building a show car some love to toss rocks. This thread was about a wonderful new product and I was just wanting to get the word out.

    Just changing to the offset cross shafts should give an additional 2 degrees, they don't cost $219 BUT did the arms give you more then 2 degrees? I think they advertise them up to 5 degrees extra. I see you don't mind putting Chinese parts on your gasser
