i got a ton more pictures, i just dont know where i have them stored. im painting it at the moment, its been totally welded for over 2 months now. just got around to posting pictures.
while i was doing the backbrace, i took out the 4.00 gears and aluminum spool (forsale PM me) and replaced them with Richmond 4.11 gears and a strange steel spool.

well its been over a year since i welded the back brace on, after a year of both unfortunate and fortunate events, (student loans coming due with shitty job and becoming a father.) its been sitting apart under the car in the garage. mainly because i havent had the money to put the engine together, so it kinda bummed me out to the point where i didnt feel like working on the car at all knowing i cant drive it.
anyways, fast forward a year or so, and i finally got all my **** in one toilet and the engine is coming together...heres where the problem lies. i realized welding this back brace on was not only time consuming and risky, but it also brought about another problem...how in the **** do i get a sway bar attached to it? obviously muffler clamps aren't going to work and i dont want to drill a hole thru the back brace for the muffler clamp. i thought about welding brackets on the bottom and using bolts to hold the sway bar to the rear end, but after getting it all together, it doesnt look like the angles are going to be correct on the sway bar and mounting locations. i could make an angled peice of square tubing to with some welded nuts to hold it on the rear end at the correct angle, however, i figured i would post this up to see if there was another solution that i havent considered yet. simply because this rear end is already totally (i thought) welded and painted and i dont want to strip it down, weld and repaint.
if someone has any other solution that would be great.
