Picked up these Ansen bars for Vega/Monza last night. A little orange paint and they will go on the wagon.

The original paint was under the black primer. The rubber bumpers have &quot;Ansen&quot; molded into them and look like they have never had any use.

My freshly painted drag dimension traction bars. Sand blasted them and painted them today. The white paint was under the yellow which was also under the black paint. Plus the snubbers are in good shape just need to clean them up.

I have been looking for a set of the old Ansen Ground Grabbers and after losing a couple ebay auctions I decided to make a set with the help of some pics and dimensions I found here on Yenko.net

They look nice! Did you need to make a few of the spring pearches?

Can't wait to see them installed. How are you going to finish them?

Thanks scuncio, I used your detailed pics for reference to build these.
Thanks pxtx, I have heavy duty reinforced perches from Moser.
I'm thinking of powder coating them chassis black but at this point I'm not 100% sure. Maybe Cadmium?
I test fitted them today and everything looked good.
