    ENJOY!
    Thanks!, The odometer just hit 9,200 miles so that's a little over 3,000 mi a year we've been putting on it, that's with a 6-month driving window that we're given here in the Midwest. I do enjoy driving them a lot more than sitting at shows. Hopefully I'm done working on it for a while again.

    Me too, Seth, but I'm not really driving mine as much as I should! I'm about done with the big weekend shows other than locals.

    On your sway bar, I'd say you did it just right, setting it to neutral as a base. If it had tension that means it was lifting one side or the other a bit, or at least pre-loading the suspension on one side compared to the other.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    The Street Rod Nationals at the fairgrounds is scheduled for Oct. 16-18. If they're still requiring masks they can count me out.
