Nope, not one of my cars but i'm glad he got a car to use. I've been real busy and haven't touched any of my cars in a long time. I even considered selling all 4 cars just because I don't have time and too many other things to get done. But i'd probably kick myself if I sold them.

Well now....if this comes to be,it will make my job a lot easier, from what ive seen so far on this site,and the mods im thinking about,this would be what I need. New quality parts,no junkyard crawling,or not getting ripped off by someone. Yeah,I like it.

I have a stock 1977 Monza Spyder 5.0 Power Steering drag/center link. It is the hardest part to find new I have tried to find. I luckily have a 1980 2+2 from which I stole it. It has 78K on it and tight but for how long? I would sent my original for a proto-type and take you up on the deal of lending for a new part. I also have a number of other parts from my parts car and may could help.

The power steering centerlinks are going for almost $300 If you can find one.

Hey folks! I called Spohn Performance to see if front control arms are still on the table for development. Steve was not available but I did speak with Megan, who assured me that the products are still in R+D. I encourage everyone interested to call or send an email to heighten his awareness that there is still a market for H-body parts. You know the saying, "the sqeaky wheel (or control arm in this case) gets the grease". Thanks. AL

Spohn has had a mule H-special body since last year. Other projects have had higher priority with them particularly the new Camaro line (more sales=more time). If we want them to move the H body project up in line, then we will have to let them know there is a demand for them. Otherwise it might be another year. :bang:

It looks like Spohn is 'looking to expand its product line' to the latest late-model cars out there.
I doubt we'll see any front control arms from Spohn anytime soon.

I just wrote them asking about rear suspension products for my Starfire. I know they have LCA's and panhard bars for the rear, but didn't see a torque arm available. Their products look like good quality and should work well with my setup when the 305 makes it's way in.
