I was at a local show the other night and there was a pro built steel 32 ford 3 window there. I bring this up because of the unique front sway bar. The main portion of the bar was through the frame attached spreader bar with splines on both ends. attached to the splines were aluminum connectors that went out to the solid axle connections. I am going to try this on my roadster it was a real clean set up. Have you guys seen anything like this before? I wish I had a camera handy.

Ghost, I was thinking about that a couple years back for my coupe. Luckily my grill shell fit fine around the orig Vette sway bar. I was just going to use sprint car torsion components from Speedway (found in their sprint car catlg). There are many companies out there now offering kits today.
Found last pic on formulas, (if your into math ;D)

Those look very interesting. I'll be thinking of using something like that on the '26. Ghost did you take any pictures?

I SAW THAT FIRST USED ON 1933 Chevrolet roadster owned by gene vrendenburg a member of the L A Roadsters. Car was on the cover of rod action magazine in late 70"s ?????
I believe he had it mounted using oilite bearing , pillow blocks, mounted to the bottom of the frame. SCHROEDER custom makes sway bars any width you need and aluminum splined arms. This is for the 7/8" splined ends type. I have this on the rear of my jag suspended 35 chev coupe and my under construction 35 chev roadster. I am using .800 thick and .850 thick bars. Really stiffens the ride but tell you this, your quarter panels in back will never touch the tires even with only 1" clearance. There is no more body lean. !!!! the rub rub rub is lone gone.
I have a couple pairs of 8 1/2" long C to C nascar prepped aluminum arms for sale
