Just finished putting on a rear sway bar on the car. It didn't come with much in the way of instructions so I cheated and looked at the pics Russ and Matt posted in the past. Just wanted to say thanks for putting the information out there to be found.
Haven't seen much of Matt lately. Must be too busy spear fishing.
I drove the car to the post office and back and nothing fell off, so I consider the install a success.
Thanks to Russ and Matt (Manoa)

Well done John!!
Say, I've been meaning to ask, is your car the original color?

Nope....originally Bruno FI 797. Kind of Hershey's chocolate brown.
Paint is a Ford color, Screaming Yellow from the mid to late 90's.
After 3 years I still like it and get compliments on the car whenever I have it out. Came out of the post office today and a guy about my age was looking at it. Gave thumbs up on the restoration which I thanked him for. But to be honest the more I see of things like you are doing, it make me question, damn why didn't I do that.

Ahh, my 77 was that Hershey... Baby sh*# brown...
I love the yellow!!!
"Why didn't I do that?"
Probably because you wanted to drive the car!
I haven't been an owner as long as you but I have had my 77 since 93 and I did an ignorant, nooby restoration the year I got it. Ever since, I have been wanting to go completely overboard restoring another
I love the yellow!!!
