H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.

I also got the bigger bar from Ken because of the stick . I think the shock deal is the ticket in fixing this . Actually my bottom bar is slightly bent from smacking the ground also . What's weird is I don't remember the dual bars ever smacking the ground like this and it shouldn't matter they both bolt to the housing ?? I dont have a real good shock yet just a single adjustable so we will see .

When I purchased the car the shocks were full loose so I put them back the same way, I can see where a stiffer shock setting would calm it down a bit.

Before good shocks were available, road race or dirt track 50/50 shocks were the answer. Very stiff.

Yeah, pretty much rode on the ground all the way down.

Look at the right rear tire marks left --looks like it was waffling the tire plus he was up on the bars for a long distance too
