Jim Turner disc brakes, 1-1/8" sway bar, '75 GM Van tilt coluum (smoothed down with no shift lever and no gear indicator) pushing an '85 Sky Hawk rack & pinion and American Daisy Spoke Alum. wheels W/3 bar KO's wraped with 205



65 R15 Goodyear rubber.

Is that an "off-the-shelf" stabilizer bar? It appears to be welded just beyond the bushings...

Mine looked that good once.

Beautiful work, Jerry... hope nobody notices the... butch... er... modifications.

I guess you could say it's off the shelf. Actually, I found it laying out behind the shop. It has not been welded on and is off a mid eighties GM intermidiate (sp). Same setup all us Stude modifiers use.

I don't have a website or a photo hoster. I would be glad to email them to you but I really don't think you would be interested because it is a highly modified Stude. Other than the basic outside shape, I am changeing almost everything about the car. It's gonna have a '53 front end and a winged Hawk dash. Nosed and decked and I have done away with all the side moldings. I have all new tempered and tinted side glasses but am waiting until I finish all the cuting and welding before I install my new Histerical er I mean Historic Automotive Interiors headliner. Then I can order a new tinted and shaded windshild and install that and the back glass. I like to leave the front and back glasses out until after the headliner is installed so I can pull it good-n-tight and glue it to the pinch weld. I have seen a lot of headliners installed without pulling the front and rear windscreens. They just tuck the headliner up under the rubber and it looks like fido's ass.

It looks like a real clean installation and one that I would want to consider for the '55 Prez sedan... I need to travel out your way to steal, er, borrow an idea or two..

I'm a believer when it comes to having the glass out when installing a headliner...
