    Sway Bar Kit (anti-roll bar), rear, 36" wide, but can be cut down (with a hack saw) to any length.. The bar is ľ" diameter with one end splined ľ-36. The other end of the bar is smooth. This smooth end gets pinned and welded into a coupler which attached to one of the arms. The laser-cut, 3/8" thick arms are 8" center-to-center. Formed tabs weld to the outer tube and connect the bar to the rear crossmember using the coil-over bolts. Urethane bushings insulate road vibration. Rod ends connect the arms to the tabs that weld to the rear end. Overall length is ľ" longer than the bar length, since the 3/8" arms mount outside the ends of the bar. The arms can be bent to clear the coil-overs.


    To mount the sway bar to a crossmember tube without coilover bolts, ...

    Welder Series has been making sway bar kits for a long, long time. These have ranged from ultra-short 18" bars for pro-street cars, to the (then) widest 36" kit. A while ago, we moved to a one-length-fits-all 36" kit, where one end of the bar is splined, and the other end is... not splined. We include a smooth bore coupler with a hole for a 1/4" double wall roll pin so you can drill the bar and drive the pin through. You can also tack weld it on the end for extra security. The main advantage to the chassis builder is a sway bar that you don't have to worry about measuring for before you order it - just trim it to the exact length you need, drill it for the roll pin, and you've got a sway bar that's the perfect length for your car or truck. ...

    The year 1978 was a great era for Oldsmobile



    1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme advertising


    Throughout history, the Oldsmobile story has inspired many automotive historians with its rich and celebrated heritage which started right in Michigan’s capital city of Lansing.


    I remember a particularly exciting year in 1978 when Oldsmobile introduced their new line of vehicles and automotive catalogues to the buying public. My first impression was that Oldsmobile was using 1978 to create a family-oriented lineup of new cars. The company used its advertising and marketing to highlight many traditional family values

    1966 Shelby GT350 Fastback



    To ensure that Shelby American would have its 1966 GT350 models in dealerships when Ford released the new ‘66 Mustangs, Shelby ordered an additional 252 cars from Ford’s San Jose plant at the very end of 1965 production. These ‘change-over’ cars (often referred to as ‘carry-overs’) were essentially Shelby-spec ’65 GT350s, and received the same performance modifications,
