I think you'll find the inner fenders are different. Of the Pontiacs I have the inner fenders are different from the comparable year Chevys - e.g. my 63 & 68 Pontiacs have different inners than my 63 & 68 Chevs. But i don't have any 67s to compare.

That Hotchkis setup is sweet, but I have to mention that GlobalWest arms have a spherical bearing at one end and poly on the other. No binding and far better suspension compliance is the result. Just Poly on all 4 rear arms will restrict the suspensions motion somewhat. You'll just end up with stiffness, which will feel like a big improvement over rubber yes, but the suspension will actually be binding as one end of the axle attempts to move up or down when that wheel encounters a bump or dip. The car body will just be following all road contours. You want as much compliance as possible. The car will handle and ride so much better. GlobalWest front arms use the very best Del-A-Lum bushings. They use them anywhere a twisting motion is not seen. Hotchkis uses inferior poly only on everything.

If I had $1000+ to spend, I'd go with the GlobalWest all around. Their rear system is comparable in price to the Hotchkis, but they don't yet have a rear stabilizer bar for the 65-70 B. You could just use the Hotchkis bar. Neither companies rear arm sets have a provision to use a factory bar.

When I built up my frame for the 69', I've just used Energy Suspension poly everywhere. And I realize now it'll be far from ideal. When the time comes to mate the body to the chassis, I might just change everything.

If you're going to the trouble to replace everything. Why not go with the best if it's the same price.

Not meaning to step on any toes here, just my two cents.

Cheers, Mark

Well I just priced out the Global stuff and for the 4 rear control arms it's going to run about close to a "G" note.I've got I think just over that for my Hotchkis stuff-front and rear sway bars,upper and lower rear control arms,panhard bar and hardware.

You could do the budget thing and box in your control arms and put new polyurethane bushings for your control arms from Energy suspension. Thats what I did on my Beaumont.

From what I see Darren, 4 arms and a panhard rod from Global is about $885 USD no hardware. The Hotchkis price for the same thing is $1025 USD hardware included.
Were you able to get it on sale?
I think to do the entire car would be about $2500 either company. Regardless, it would be a dream to do it using either.

Cheers, Mark
