    Your Front swaybar has a different end than mine. Swaybar should be black like the frame.

    Also, frame looks too glossy - hard to tell from pics. You could knock it down with a satin clear???

    Awesome to see that rare car getting the love/resto it deserves and that you're concerned about getting it right. Hope to see it at the Nationals someday (concours?).
