I had the front end redone on my 67 last summer, right before I got ready to come over here to Africa. I found out then, that I had those stupid articulated strut rods.
As my 67 XR7 is a one of two car, I want to more closely restore it, rather than the usual resto-mod that I would do. Is it worth the effort to keep them,(the original style articulated rods) or should I switch to the 68 style strut rods and lower control arms. If I do go with the 68 style, are the brand new lower control arms good for any other car besides a cougar? Can I sell them, or am I going to have to eat that cost? What do you think? I have extra 68 front end pieces-a-plenty, I can either re-build or just get new LCA's, and use the other 68 strut rods I already have....
