My 69XR7 ConVert spent 6 years on jacks in the driveway in the texas sun. I have spent the last year restoring her she is now legal to drive. I must have put to much under the hood, The tires just wont bite hard at all. Has anybody installed some traction bars that dont look like ****, or any ideas on how to keep her glued to the ground, both tires will not burning until half way through second gear.

Get some softer compound tires like goodyears. Or go wider. Does it hop at all?

How about a couple big Texas girls in the back seat???? Just a joke now, my daughter lives in Texas.

How about some of those southside machine bars. You can tell me how they work since I have been eyeballing them. mm

thumbs up to southside t bars. they work fine for me. 67 COUGAR GT 409c.i. FE motor c-6 trans 4:11 gear. take away the wheel hop and plants, providing you got 10'' wide rubber. engine makes over 450hp.:ylsup: :flash: :flash: :flash:

295/50/15's keep my 69 glued to the ground pretty darn good. I'm running almost exactly the same drivetrain.

traction bars are too noticable...go with wide ass tires and drop a couple of PSI's out of the rear, they'll stick.

yeah, the 295's stuck real nice on mine to, 4 speed, posi, etc. I had traction bars on but took them off, didnt need 'em. Try the southside bars, they arent noticeable.

shelby bars

A set of traction bars like shelby used werent that noticable. I suggest those.
