Looking for "Dog Bones"

[Jack A.]

Hi Guys,

Looks like I need your help again. I am restoring a 61 fuelie which in one of it's former lives was a Drag Car. In the process of making it such, Traction Bars were added and the Factory Strut Rods also known as "Dog Bones" were cut off. I have looked every where for them with the aftermarket suppliers. They have been back ordered for many months with no date in sight for getting them. Any suggestions on what I can do would be appreciated. I have been at a standstill for four months so far over this.

Thanks as always,
Jack Alexander 35730

Jack, All I can think of is used ones from a frame from a restomod project. Or maybe Paragon Vintage?

...wait, just found a pair.....

If you don't do Ebay, maybe send her a email or call and inquire about direct purchase.

Mary Jo is good. May also try Grossmuellers if her's are sold.

Thanks guys,

I got the ones from Mary J. I had just missed a pair on E Bay last week and did not check again in that I did not imagine that another pair would come up that soon. Thanks for checking for me. You guys are the best!!!
