Saturday I hit the parts yard and picked up a sway bar off of an '88 Burb for $9. I bought some new hardware and Moog bushings at the parts store, cleaned/painted the bar and brackets and put it on the '80. I must say, what an improvement for my $35 investment. I can take corners now like never before and dont have to slow to a crawl when entering the parking garage at work. Used to be that the front left tire would sometimes rub the inner fender when I made the left turn in, now its smooth sailing! I decided to skip the "lowered" ECE brackets and bolted it directly to the frame as a few people in the FAQ suggested, worked great!

Sunday I smoked some chicken quarters and watched the race. All in all it was a good weekend, despite the fact that Carl Edwards won the cup race.
