Steve you know where to send mine!!!!!
SWEET STUFF.

Oh yeah Steevo that is awesome!

Excellent Questions. I'll start in reverse. The rear spoiler has 12 degrees of adjustment built into it. I don't hav an aero data, but the difference between 35 degrees and 48 degrees is huge. You can feel it on the highway. Strut rods on the front would kill the look that is picked up from so many stock car and road race spoilers. So we put bends in the base and upright to make the strut rods work in back. Wasn't easy. I had the design in my head for years. Jake Parrott made it into reality with his amazing fabrication skills. Adjustment is handled by two wrenches 7/16" and 3/8". To equalize the four strut rods, you can use a simple hardware store angle finder (preferred method) or tape measure. It's all kinds of fun watching that spoiler go up and down as you adjust it.

Yes there will be a front spoiler. Yes it will be similar in theme, but will not look anything like stock. That's because an aluminum stock style front spoiler would get wrecked on the first outing. As is, we currently keep a few cheapie plastic front spoilers on hand for our own cars--just in case anyone goes curb hunting. I'd hate to sell someone a handmade aluminum front spoiler and have it get crunched.

Kyle,
We don't think the strut rods look bulky--just purposeful in a streetfighter kinda way. Definitely not subtle though. The look is not for everyone, but that's why we are only making a limited production run. We did look into Clevis style ends--my original spoiler, that I ran for years, used this type of end. They rattle like crazy on each and every bump. The production spoiler has lock nuts and captured ball & socket ends.

Steve you have a PM :thumbsup:

They include water jet cut .125" thick brushed aluminum base and upright, stainless steel piano hinge, aluminum strut rods, hardware, and gaskets. The spoiler installs using the factory bolt holes, so no drilling is required. We are only producing a batch of ten, but might do a second batch if demand exists. After that, they're gone. Price is $569. Click the link for detailed pix.

===============================================
Steve:

What will be the difference between the prototype and the final version?
Will there be ten total of the two versions, (67-68 Short width, and 69 Wider Width), or ten short and ten wide?

Will the front spoiler be adjustable also?
Will it be about the same size as the stock front spoiler, or will it be more aggressive like what you would see on a '69 Mach One?
Will there be a choice of the two?

Can the front spoiler be ordered with brake vent holes already cut?

Thanks,

Ty O'Neal

BTW: I really like the Racing look of it. Congrates!:thumbsup:

It's waaaay to soon to talk about the front spoiler in public. We made ten total spoilers. We want to make another small batch, but not sure f that will happen. Only differences will be slightly angled and curved edges on the ends of the upright--upper corners.

Steve:

I know I send a million questions. Sorry about that.

Did you receive my PM? (Oops, I did it again, Damn!);)

TY

Ty,
Got your PM and will respond via email. We're thrashing to get trim plates out so there might be some delay. Questions are always welcome.
