Nice work. Definitely watching this.
Is there any issues with clearance to tires when it's fully stuffed?

This sway bar will only fit with modifications to the arms, and with wheels with a 3.75" or less back space or stock wheels with 3/4" or bigger spacers.
Both tires fully stuffed is not a issue, 1 tire fully stuffed/ articulated it gets close. hears a picture with 3.5" back space wheels
IF anyone is interested my install starts a few post down on page 15 here.

The link modification process nearly broke my pee brain. It’s done though. Made a mistake on the first one but nothing that a trip to ACE and some welding couldn’t remedy.

Wheels look NICE!!
dang I hope the backspacing is right on those wheels. Cause those heims are going to be close!
I had some issues with mine rubbing in the inside of the tires of FULL flex. I had to press a little bend into it to get it away from the tire. It clears the tire but slightly contacts my bump stops.

We will know today if I ever get these damn valve stems installed. I bought the fat, rapid ar down stems through Trail Ready and the lock nut they come with makes it nearly impossible to torque down without destroying the outside end with whatever tool I hold it with. I will go to town and buy regular nuts and just double nut them.

I’ve been driving past this Cadi ever time I go to ACE for months now. The car is solid but the price is too high. What do you think it’s worth?

It’ll be pimp’n after I buy it and paint it pink. The patina is good looking and surprisingly, the body is very solid. I knocked on it all over. There is an area or two with body filler.
Imagine putting in a new front seat and taking off on a tour of Route 66.
i say give him an offer...you never know. Besides, you need a side project to distract you from the White Rhino. lol
Coming from a guy with 58 pink coupe Deville, chromed out, brake work and new tires, similar to this one, it's From Colorado so little to no rust, paid about @12K 10 yrs ago. I believe this one looks to be low on the options on chrome and possible other options. Sometimes with these for restoration cost, not always a bad thing.
Chrome, interior and grill are very important to be spot on, including the obvious rust underneath. One heads up they are one of the hardest cars to find parts for. Really rare so complete with parts would be very important. They are on the high side for cost to refurbish.
As always without details, its really hard to nail a number but it doesn't seem to be as out of line as 80's are right now so that's a bonus...
EDIT- did you get interior pics? They are like artwork. A really cool car and super fun to drive, restored or not.

I don’t think it needs to be welded all the way.
