    Cleaned up and painted the OEM optional 7/8” HD Sway Bar purchased from Eric (Acornridgeman). I taped off the Ford inspection marks so that they can be seen and outfitted the bar with a sway bar bushing kit from MOOG #K8791. Ready to install this weekend! 888D6D8A-2C65-4927-A42F-47DE900C2BA2.jpeg 85240AC8-C680-4028-9F8E-B677ACE50255.jpeg

    Not the greatest photos but my buddy sent over some photos of my car that he just finished painting for me! I told him to surprise me with the paint job and stripes and I like it! The orange car in the back ground is also mine. The green one is a budget car that we built as a daily driver.

    most of my mods I like to get them done and tested, then give the full details. so as the posts go I mention the parts as I get them. not the name of the part but that I bought a part. most parts I get I have to do some type of mod on them.
    I ordered 21 sets of headers at Summit one day before I got the set I could mod to fit like I wanted for my project. had to change the bolt pattern and the collectors. these were for my 347...:bouncy:

    Hi Frank:
    Would have loved to see the face on the person when you returned the 20 sets of Headers to Summit!

    Frank, you must spend an obscene amount of money at Summit for them to pull that many headers out of their inventory for your inspection and with a smile! :thumbs2:

    these Guys are great to me...:thumbs2:
    I'm this way with all the parts I buy. say it's an alt. I need, I have them pull all they have in stock. (10). I pick the best looking one and return the rest. Jeff has a million pics of me doing this over and over. It's become a joke with them, now when I ask "how many in stock" they say "one"...LOL

    Did the Shelby drop on the driver side while replacing the suspension components, hope to get to the passenger side next weekend. Had to trim the brace to get it to fit.
