*** Up

Ridiculous as that looks, it was the norm back in the early 70's. Seems like everyone was fabricating longer shackles in high school shops class. The goal was usually tire clearance, but it lent a "funny car" look and it was a badge of honor to have the longest shackles, no matter how unsafe the practice was. Darwin award anyone? Still, the worst was yet to come. Mid 70's brought disco and look how silly that made us look!
