Default 65-70 Big car tubular front control arms.

Gauging interest for my chassis guy. He is going to make a set of upper and lower control arms for my 70 and make a jig to make sets to sell. Just seeing if anyone else would be interested in having a set made. Can be made out of mild steel or chromoly tubing. Price would be comparable to other sets by different companys for different chassis.

If the prices is reasonable and the parts are good, I would be in for a set or two. For sure upper control arms if there was about 2-3 degrees of positive caster built into them and set up for a common ball joint.

Very interested. I already use RARE rear tubular system and love it

I’m going to pull a set off a parts car to give to him to make the first set. I will post pictures and prices after he is done with them.

doing an alignment on these cars, it's tough to even get 1 degree of positive caster. With the radial tires, it would be nice to get to 4 degrees. If they are just stock control arm specs, I would have no interest.

Also interested, but not for just a stock geometry arm. Per 63gpman, there is a need for better alignment setting range than stock. I am/was planning to build build my own for my two '67s, but if these are appropriate, they would save me the time.
