Clamping front of leafs as good as traction bars??

I believe that I will follow your advice. I really was only interested in running them as something that would have been on a street car in the early 70's. I've already got the stickers on the rear quarters, Doug Thorley knock off sidepipes, BFG TA Radials and stock ralleye wheels. There will be a fair ampount of chrome under the hood and I want to have the factory style double scoops chromed. Got any other ideas????? Thanks

Any other ideas ? Yes.
Chrome hood scoops ? Ewww. Matte black or body color.....Much better.
Traction bars...Cheby,again Ewww. Think Super Stock springs and pinion snubber.
