  The "Hustle Stuff" catalog had the best MOPAR PERFORMANCE could offer back in the day. If you could pick any one thing for your car what would you get? (I'd want the stainless "Front Spoiler" they use to offer.)
 Do any of you have items from the catalog on your car now?

Chopsticks kind of look like leaf spring shackles.

I too was wondering about the chopsticks. Never heard of them. They look like plain steel tubes.

The only clues are that they are sold in pairs and there are different part numbers for "most models", and a separate one for "Hemi".

I'll be interested for someone the chime in on the answer!

It's in the scoop and stuff section, and they're motor related.  The Hemi pair looks bigger.  Some sort of water drain for air cleaners w scoops?

Scoop section,  well how does this theory sound.  The support braces located at the front of the scoop to keep it from flexing.

Back when I was oval track racing I received some aluminum and steel ones with a bunch of kit car stuff.  They were with other tools but not in the package so I didn't know what they were called.
What I had looks like what is in the chopstick package.  They go over the rod bolts for engine assembly.  The aluminum ones were still on a monster small block rod when I got them.  One end was knurled
and the steel ones were a lot longer than the aluminum ones, there was two different internal diameters.  I only used them once because I liked the rubber hose method more. 
I looked to see if I still had them but I do not. 
My first Charger was a Stock Car.
