I really like the way that you fabricated the rear sway bar.

We just finished my father in laws Hemi Eh. It's a 331 hemi with t5 trany, out of a mustang. It has a clutch and torque converter, very strange to drive. We custom fabed the frame and body parts to match

Doesn't look like it but that was 8 feet of weld. First one done with a coat of primer to prevent rust and start welding again.

other side is done, now to reassemble the sides to raise the tailgate hinge point. I hate the look of that step between raised bed and tailgate, so I'm going pivot the gate 2" higher. I hope...
