It's finally welded up! Wish I had a better camera, you can't really see much in these pics.

The only bad thing about the z bars is they lift the body up quite a bit when yer launching and it gets it (the body not the tires) to bouncing. This is due to geometry issues with the upper bars. They will definitely plant the tires, I can't spin on the street with the Mickey ETs. I've been told from a good source (Ed Wright) that to keep the back end from bouncing like that you have to keep the torque arm but let the front of it float freely, just take the rubber out of the mount in the front basically. I haven't tried that yet. I wouldn't recommend them unless you have major traction problems or are lifting the front real bad on launch, like Ed. Other than that though it rides like stock. I might actually need them here before too long, I'm working on a blower intake for the car at the moment, a roots blower that is. Here's some pics of the final product.

Nice. I was just wondering if there was anybody who did their own. Where'd you buy the casing at?

Nothing to update unless I decide to stick the torque arm back on it. The housing came out of a '76 country squire station wagon, it was only a 1/4" wider so no narrowing was needed.
