Re: 62 Front SwayBar Installation

Joe, a member passed me your thread on adding a front sway bar. Nice post and thanks for all the detail pics. I'm sure you have some miles on it by now, can you tell me if the sway bar helped your handling much? Planning to try same on my 62 carryall
Thanks, Tom

I saw on your build thread and liked your steering wheel write up.
I settle on a 62 Nova wheel to keep the theme, but also noticed that the larger diameter added to the handling dilemma. You wouldn't think driving with a steering wheel a bit larger would add to the slower handling but it does.
I will see if the Swaybar calms down the steering and people will stop thinking I'm waving my hands at them.
