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 installed a set of these on my 56, once again really nice results. Now it time to park it for the winter.

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

Already had them they helped some, but not as much as these. I bought this set for $200.
