the only other advantage i can see to the fatman kit besides the adjustable ride height and bigger brakes is the cost of replacement parts, if you had to replace the suspension as a whole it could possibly be cheaper. escort racks are a dime a dozen as are late model spindles and brakes and the stock style strut as well

I wish I could afford the time into a Griggs setup.

Too bad Total Control Products couldn't run a business as well as they could make parts. I hope the idea guy(s) from the company end up at a company that can stay in business.

The idea guy was the owner, Terry Buch. He will not be associated with the new owner(s) AFAIK.

Will the new owners be producing the sub-frame connectors as they are now? If not, does anyone know of anyone who produces something comparable? I really liked the TCP 2-kit sub-frame connectors and was planning on buying a set for my '65.

We still have 1 or 2 sets of TCP Sub Center sections left.

Terry is a great guy but he still owes me about 7k. Imagine that, he doesn't return my calls...

Long story short, the designs were taken and/or improved upon, not by us. They'll be surfacing very soon by another unrelated company...

It's likely their name won't be mentioned but the designs will be obvious...

Most likely spherical rod ends and tubular arms, coil-overs, etc. will be familiar.

I bet there are big changes to the rear suspension. I wonder if it'll be close to what I've been thinking up. I'll have to wait and see I guess.

According to the Cougar forum that I previously linked

From another site.....

"TCP will be back! In about two months you should see product! You can call Precision Machine ( 209 369 2600 )to get on a list or call your local Dealer to get on list. "

Now everyone has a number to call to bug them. I've heard they will have product in as little as 60 days.
