Yes you are! The car doesn't have a glove box.

I think this is the last fab job on my list, sway bar!
Starting with making up the old school sway bar mounts.

Got the sway bar finished up, pic of the engine bay.

Looks nice Craig. With those aluminum blocks that sway bar should be nice and stiff. A lot less give than with rubber bushings.

I think you should have incorporated some form of swaybar bushes in your swaybar mount. Since the steel will wear the aluminium.

O, I think they will be just fine!

We can always replace years down the road if they wear out.

As long as you're aware of what might happen if they wear.

Keep up the good work, love the photos.

I installed exactly that setup on my Hi-Tech 24 years ago. Currently at almost 22k miles and all materials look like cobrakiwi installed them last month.
