Re: [FWDLK] The correct stance

[Greg Filtz <filtz@xxxxxxx>]

List,

This email  reminds me of a piece of documentation I have for the sales
promotion items for my 1956 Dodge.   In 56' they offered "hooks" for
sale to the dealership that would give the cars on the showroom floor a
"lower look".   The idea was to hook the suspension and pull it
together.   I could scan the document if anyone was interested.
