Gimme a little more time. I was not able to contact who I needed to talk to today.

Nothing in it for me, I'm just helping you folks out.

Me too, me too. I've been thinking about this for awhile. The only thing I wouldn't need are the Smart Struts, I already have them. Unfortunately, I won't have the cash for about two months, but I WILL have it. Definitely want to find out a price on this one. :yesnod:

A group purchase eh! O.K. I'll make it $1700 for '63-79' and $1900 for '80-82' for 10 or more forum members. You can find page#9 of the catalog on our web-site in the "shop online" section. :blueangel:

I'll go for the 79, but I can't afford it until mid-November. Would it be possible to count me in, maybe using my credit card number as a hold without charging it or shipping the items until mid-November?

Since we have a VBP rep in here, I'd like to pose the question:

What do you consider to be "minor modification of the rear crossmember"?

Does that mean welding? Or just drilling and tapping?

The modification for the rear crossmember is just drilling four holes so you can bolt on the rear dual-mount brackets. Our dual-mount spring mounts to the crossmember for strength not to the rear cover. :D

I need to do the suspension in mine too, but that is a little too much.

Perhaps shocks, springs and thats about it. Nice setup though. What is it listed at normally? If its a big enough savings I might talk myself into it.

The kits retail @ $1999.95 for 63-79' and $2195.95 for 80-82'. The performance plus kit includes: Total front-end rebuild kit, jam-nut tie-rod sleeves, all polygraphite bushings, stainless trailing-arm shims, rear crossmsmber reinforcing kit front and rear dual-mount mono-springs, Smart Struts, front and rear sway-bar kits, Bilstein Sport shocks, and tubular upper and lower a-arms. All steel parts are high gloss black powder coated. Very nice kit which will upgrade the total suspension from the ground up. :yesnod:
