The car is a time capsule. Built in 1972 from a new car. He put the Comp Engineering bars on it. Were they called slide-a-links in 1972? I don't know. But they look the same as todays slide-a-link with the rubber cushion in the middle. Although I'm thinking the bars may be fatter in diameter. The last time the car was raced I think, was 1982. Hasn't hardly moved in 30 years!
I'm pretty sure the Cal-Trac bars came after 1982.
Not trying to take away anything from John Calvert because as I mentioned, he improved on the concept, took it to a whole 'nother level and I'm sure his accountant is very happy with the results!
And I think the split leaf is pure genius. He built a great system. I have the bars, springs and wheelie bar going on my car.
