Yes you can. Just make a compound ramp. Lay some 5/4 or 2x4 (about 2 feet in length) in front of your front tires and about 10 inches up the ramp. i have to do this with Cindy's Impreza.
Awesome A-body air dam for under $30!

Hey! Post some pics up of your car!! I just bought a 69 Camaro spoiler last week but I like the looks of this one on the darts and wanna see what it looks like on a Duster.

should be able to once it gets light out here
it looks decent, but i want to cut the edges up, so that it doesnt end so oddly
Yell at me if you decide you want one like this..
I will sell you the one i have that is New in Box.

I'm not real familiar with Michigan but shouldn't it be daylight there by now?? Come on, son!

I was hoping for better light so you could actually see the spoiler, but this is the best I got right now
(Yes, I know it needs to be washed)
That don't look too bad! If I don't like how the Camaro one looks or if I get tired of it I might have to pick one of these up. Another one I'd like to try is the 68-70 Mustang Mach1 chin spoilers.
Btw, your grill would look better if you stuck some marker lights in there

Did you guys notice any cooling effect w/ the air dams ? Been thinking about one on my 68 fastback, but it`s already low enough that I cant hook up anything to tow it with, w/o bending the front splash pan(valance). "Hoping I won`t need to !''
The Camaro dam made a tremendous difference once moving. It apparently forces large amounts of air into the radiator. The Ford dam is much more vertical, so it might not make as much of a difference?

the needle stays a little further to the left while driving with the spoiler installed
hard to tell what the exact difference is, since its the stock gauge
I might have to block part of my radiator off if it runs cooler than now... the car runs at 190* on the road right now and if I'm sitting in the McDonald's drive through for 10 minutes it only creeps up to about 192-193* That's with a 26" champion aluminum radiator, solid mounted fan and no shroud.

The effectiveness of a small lip can be debated, but it does look good.
But there are also reasons these things are made of ABS-plastic.
Costs, weightsavings and speedbump/driveway damage are a few of them.

Steel probably cheaper then plastic, my spoiler is 21 ounces. For me it’s the visual look, I want it to look like a part of the car, rather then a add on. Not saying there is anything wrong with abs. That just me.

I have a steel one also. My biggest fear is hitting something and destroying the front valance.
That looks good on there.
Say Andy, an airdam would fit that cars looks
