Re: Project '64 Cheapskate

I also built some reinforcement brackets for the front sway bar. When frames get "Z'd", the swaybar winds up being bolted to the weak side of the frame (forward of the cuts). I'm running the larger swaybar, so I made the reinforcements out of 3/16 steel plate and bent them up using a press brake. I drilled them up for 1/2" bolts, Grade 8, of course. In the next few weeks, I'll be pulling them back off and painting them chassis black, along with the swaybar.
