77 280z Restoration
I have seen both kinds of bars. Forward and rearward bars. I would think it would depend on what bar you actually have. Did 280's come with factory supplied rear sway bars?

I have never heard of annealing steel when working with it. Dirty materials is definitely harder to weld properly. I have done some mig work inverted. When using shield gas you may need to turn it up some and also avoid working in windy conditions, It can cause your shielding gas to disperse
