I looked at Johnny Laws web site and can not find any information about it there.

Found this but it seems different and costs a lot more

Its a generic they list under a lot of different cars and trucks

It's a generic kit for narrow frames, doubt that it even fits a sweptline.

They say that it is Helix. I tried to price the same kit on Helix and came up with $1795 so it is a discount, but I've never heard of Helix before so who knows what kind of quality they offer.

For reference, a base model Fatman kit is $1895. I believe BigDad used a Fatman on his, they have a decent reputation.

Why only to '64? They don't seem to know that the frames are the same to at least to '68 and that the frames were a lot different from the '60 and older frames.

I'll bet there is a separate number for '60 and earlier, and '61 and later. Odd year grouping they show, for certain. Looks like a nice set-up, though. And when you consider what you spend for a lowered axle, new drum or disc brakes, springs, bushings, tie rod ends, etc...you are pretty close to the price of this. Might consider that if I decide to hang onto the stock '68.

I wonder about a vendor that can not even show a price correctly - the dollar sign comes BEFORE the number! It is not 499$, like they list. It's $499. How hard is it to be right???
