Looking good Ray.
I would be interested in hearing how much of a difference the sway bar makes. I don't have on on my car now.

It looks great! Any problem with the tires hitting the fender on your test drive?

I cut down the original sway bar. It seems to make the car handle better with crosswinds.
The tires don't hit or rub at all. I'm happy with the way it came out.
The only issue I have is the left side camber could only be set to 1 1/2deg+, couldn't get any more on that side. The passenger side came right in at 1/2deg+ .
Headers are on. I still need to adjust the valves, check the dwell & timing, check carburetor settings (34PICT 3), install seatbelts and put the driver door back together.
Look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.

Update on rubbing issues  Put about 200 miles on car and found the car had settled, and ride height dropped another 1/2". This, along with filling up the tank caused the right wheel to rub on the fender when I turned left. I adjusted the height back, and rubbing issues went away  |

It sounds like you're good to go with the ride height. I've heard that the car settles out after a while and lowers a bit more. I've got a lowering kit for my '73 Super, that I'll eventually get around to using. Looking forward to seeing your '67. |

Coker had the best price I could find for 145's.
Looking forward to seeing your car Sunday!
