Re: '51 Rusto-Mod

Got the bed off and finished the front sway bar fitment.
Spent a weekend figuring out the poor movement in the 'Flat Out Engineering' instructions of the sway bar mounting was being they give you enough material to mount the bar on top of the frame for ground clearance(low rider), or below for normal mounting(lol). If they gave you that info, it would save many a headache.
Removed 3/8" from the Heim side and 5/8" from the threaded side. That still gives me about 12 threads for anchor between, and it looks like it has normal travel. 1st is no changes, 2nd is cut down to fit. Also installed Heim washers that Flat-out should have included in the kit for a bit more travel in motion without binding.
