Installed the Futofab rear sway bar in my white 1970 Z! 

Guy does this sway bar require drilling holes in the body floorboards?  I have a sway bar that required it, and really don't like the idea of drilling holes in the body.

[Diseazd]

No Mike no drilling holes in the floor boards....just a 3/8 inch hole in the lip (over hang) of the rear suspension cross member. I used a 9 inch extension on my drill so I could drill the hole without taking anything apart or removing the big suspension bolt or the other two small bolts....that's it....the whole job literally takes no more than an hour to hour and a half. Here's a pic from underneath...,you can see that I put the bolt through facing up instead of hanging down like in the instructions. Really ingenious way to get a nice rear bar without destructing anything! Look closely and you'll see the silver head of the bolt .......that's it....everything else just bolts up (all provided in the kit).

I was on a road trip with some people from the Z Club Switzerland. It was great!

Ran 5 gallons through mine today without any problems/noises whatsoever.  I think I can close the book on this one and drive it without worry.

Thanks for everybody's help.

I worked on polishing a valve cover today.

I swapped out my broke d*** t5 for a good used t5 . I can now shift 1st to 2nd like I meant it. Then I just drove around like a happy camper ! Engine is running so good right now and the Mikunis are asking for bigger jets- so I better get on it.  :-0

Installed a new Black Dragon front bumper on my 73......much better look!

Finally got hold of a rear bumper without rubbers to go with my rubber free front bumper. Looks great!

Big thanks to Jim (jfa.series1)for a great deal.

Unseasonal 68 degrees here today. Trying some different jetting then one last drive. 

Then on jackstands to get wheels off the ground for winter. Drove her less than 300 miles this summer.

I did some more polishing on the valve cover over the weekend.
