1964 Valiant "Get Runnin & Drivin"

We've been drivin her everywhere. I have no doubt we could have made the 3.5 hour trip to Havana, Florida in Vixen to see Kitty's brother for Thanksgiving. I decided against it, because about 100 miles of that trip is interstate. Again. she would have done it with flying colors, but I would have been more comfortable staying around 55, so we took the Escape. It needed its legs stretch anyway, as It's not getting driven much anymore at all locally. lol

So, Saturday afternoon I whooped her into the shop and replaced the sway bar frame bushings and end links. The bushings I got with the bar were a little less than the quality I wanted so I got some universal ones from Energy Suspension. They are nice and have built in grease fittings so I can keep the bushings greased. The end links I got originally were somewhat too short and caused the ends of the sway bar to interfere with the lower control arms. We cain't have all that, so I got some end links a little longer. I'll get some pictures up tomorrow. This is the Addco front bar that mounts sorta chinsey......but I fixed all that. I'll get some good pictures tomorrow. Their bars are really affordable, but the way they mount leaves that top bolt totally unsupported. That bottom 90 degree angle bracket ends up being the only thing that attaches the bar to the K frame IF you install it per their instructions. I did not. LOL I'll have pictures up tomorrow.

Also, while I was at it, I turned her around and backed her in the shop, jacked her up and removed the 1" lowering blocks I had put in. The new springs have settled a little and I lost a little of the rake it had, so I yanked the blocks out. Now it she has her attitude back. lol
