that's exactly what I wound up doing. I thought the tilt column would give me the clearance to be able to hold a cold beverage between my legs and still be able to retrieve it while driving. NOT. I sectioned two inches out of it and it is just about perfect for me. I can now drive with my leg while ...

yes, i'll be there for the tenth year in a row, but then again i only live 40 miles away. i believe there is a place on the registation card that goes in your window for club affiliation, so if it is filled out we can recognize other members.

a man told me to rub door rubber down with johnsons baby oil after installation. it softened it up and doors closed with an easy slam. worked for me.

Johnny, it's not the same as 65-79 though right? Surely newer technology than in '65. It's not a swap like the 79 would be right? Because I've been considering the crn vic route myself. I've been trying to get this damn twin to handle at foctory ride height for a while. It's improved with the sway b...

MrEvil wrote best handling lightnings were 1st generation with twin-Ibeams? What gives? I read something in a reply to a twin Ibeam sway-bar question about a lightning set-up. '79 last twin? When was 1st gen. lightning? Did they bring back twin for it? Somebody please help clear this up for me.

There are some pictures in the personal gallery of moonpie. I was able to load them with the help of that thread about how to load pictures, thanks. I tried to load them to this post, but I don't think I was successful. Will try again another day. I'm off to work shortly, night shift this week. DAMMN.

Well guys, I really wanted the swaybar installed so it is. It was definitely a job. I thought it would fit easily but that was not the case. I had to fab some different brackets to mount to the ibeam. The ones supplied didn't stick out far enough for clearance issues. Drilling the ibeams wasn't near...

Sway bar

I just received my Addco sway bar kit for the front of my 66 twin I-beam. It is pretty generic, nothing like Slickfans. You have to drill holes in the I-beams to attach brackets and same thing for the frame. It's just a straight piece of cold roll with two 90s and a bolt hole on each end. It doesn't...
