Re: My 86 build

Just for kicks, what do you use to grind and finish your welds? I've been using a flap disc, but it seems to be too aggressive (or maybe I am, hehe), and I can never keep the area level. Maybe I just suck at it, but wanted to see what you used so maybe I can try and improve.

that's what I use...80g the dewalt ones, they seem to last longer than the auto parts store crap.

Re: My 86 build

finished the swaybar today, bolted it on, didn't quite fit so I cut the old mounts off the frame, made some new ones, and bolted it back up...
