Default Dzus rails?

Where should i get my dzus rails from? i need the normal front, fender and then 2 rear ones cuz i got the extended sunoco.

i know racecraft has them, i think ive seen madman say he has them. Im just wondering if any sponsors/shops have a complete kit that i can just order rather than piecing everything together like on racecrafts site

racecraft makes them for vfn and madman.....if you get the extended hood the back ones will need to be custom as the rails only go fender length, not that hard we did mine

racecraft makes a nice rear bracket for behind the mirror location. That bolts to the stock rivet holes in the fender. And a set that bolts to the cowl with adjustment in height for the cowl, also have great directions with pics, and a cutout templete on there site. You don't have to make any brackets to get a sunoco exstenderd hood to fit with Dzus's. Check there site, I can't put up a link.


But a really nice way, because most of the time those "ears" fit really bad is to just cut them off 90* off the notch around the stock hood,mirror body line. And make up a new panel that fits over that spot. Robbie (promod1955) was the 1st to do this I htink. But seen it on a few cars now and its really nice.

any decent chassis shop should be able to do it. It would be nice if somebody mass produced them but when I made the ones you see above, each side was a little different. Everytime I look at those pictures I wish I would of got a joe van o hood instead.

It looks realy killer now. Its about 3" lower then what you see in those pictures above and has alumastars on it now. The joe van o hood is lighter and I think looks cleaner.
