Narrow Mustang II Crossmember Install

Grant Schwartz of Schwartz Welding has completed a beautiful example of a narrowed Welder Series Mustang II crossmember.

It’s for a 1951 Prefect, and the finished track width ended up close to 48″, with 5/8″ narrowed control arms.

Sway Bar Mounted on a Motorcycle

Let me explain.

Nevermind, let the pictures explain. When we say it’s a universal sway bar kit, Daniel took us up on that claim.

Dear Daniel…
Daniel, I’m guessing you spent at least an hour or more figuring all this out! I don’t know anything about bikes, but this is very impressive. Thanks for the pics, and for using Welder Series parts.

Sway Bar Kit, Universal

This universal fit sway bar is easy to install and lets you fit the bar to just about any application. 36" or 46" long, trim-to-fit.

$250.00 — $280.00

Sway Bar Kit (anti-roll bar), rear, 36″ wide, but can be cut down (with a hack saw) to any length. The bar is ¾” diameter with one end splined ¾-36. The other end of the bar is smooth. This smooth end gets pinned and welded into a coupler which welds to one of the arms. The laser-cut, 3/8″ thick arms are 8″ center-to-center.

Formed tabs weld to the outer tube and connect the bar to the rear crossmember using the coil-over bolts. Urethane bushings insulate road vibration. Rod ends connect the arms to the tabs that weld to the rear end. Overall length is ¾” longer than the bar length, since the 3/8″ arms mount outside the ends of the bar. The arms can be bent to clear the coil-overs.
To mount the sway bar to a crossmember tube without coilover bolts, please see the video “Sway Bar Options”. To order the kit like this, please add a comment in the order check-out. No extra charge.

The Model A sway bar kit includes a 40″ trim-to-fit sway bar with 3/4-36 splines on one end and no splines on the other end. Trim the bar to the exact length you need, then weld the smooth coupler and the arm to one end. Slip the bar through the outer tube and attach the splined coupler arm to the opposite end. The outer tube goes through the frame rails ahead of the rear end. The arms link to a formed bracket that bolts to the rear axle 4-link side plate. See pictures.

1951 Chevy Pickup Mustang II Install Pics

Mark just sent us a few pictures of his Welder Series MII installed in his ’51 Chevy truck. Nice job Mark!

He used our coil over kit, which is a little bit less expensive than the coil spring crossmember kit. The coil overs will cost more up front, but will be easier to fine-tune the ride due to the availability of shock damping and a wider range of spring rates.

Mark has been added to our monthly draw to receive a $50 credit on his account here. We draw a random name from those who send in pictures of our parts being used on their car. Please send pictures to [email protected]

Studebaker Pickup Mustang II Pics

Check out this truck! Chuck sent these pictures for our photo sharing draw, and I had to post them here. Also, I’ve included a bit of the email he sent along with the pictures. He recently ordered some more parts, so I asked him how the Mustang II install went:

Hi Charles, thanks very much for another order. It should be shipped tomorrow. How did the Mustang II kit work out for you?
Thanks again
DW Horton

Hello:
I keep meaning to send you pictures of the install of the Mustang II – see attached photos. It came out excellent! I couldn’t be happier, great instructions and a very high quality kit from you. Should have it on the road for Back to the 50′s car show in St. Paul, MN. in June.

Thank you!
Chuck

 

Working With Tucci on the NSRA Giveaway

Recently, I made the quick jaunt down to Marcy NY to lend a hand on the 2011 NSRA giveaway car being built at Tucci Hot Rods and given away in Louisville in August. Dave and I have worked together a few times in the past, mainly on Sinuous, a 1935 Ford that debuted at Cobo Hall a few years ago. You’ve probably seen it in at least a few magazines. Being an 8 year project, Dave invested a good chunk of his life into this beautiful car. I posted some build pictures on the HAMB: check them out.

Anyways, back to last week… We sent some parts down for the car that Dave had installed before I got there, like the triangulated rear four link kit, but while I was there we installed the engine/transmission, center section, rear sway bar, front Panhard, and I finished up some welding on the frame. Here are some pictures of the fun!

It’s always a pleasure to work with Dave and the rest of the Tucci team – he has the skill and equipment to turn out some of the nicest cars across the country.

February Photo Draw Winner: Time Bomb Customs

John St Germain sent some pictures of his Welder Series universal sway bar install accompanied by this note:

Just a short note to say how happy I am with the rear sway bar kit I ordered from you the other day. I got it the next day and we installed today with pictures of the install. It is a simple easy to install system and we had no problems installing it with a little nip and welded it all up. It couldn’t get any simpler. What I thought was going to be a nightmare turned out to be a dream. We did it all in an afternoon. I will be ordering one for my roadster next. Thanks again for the quality we seldom see with other manufacturers.

We ended up using the air bag bracket for the lower heim connection and it looks like it will be perfect.

JH Restorations: Sway Bar Install

I received these pictures from JH Restorations as submissions to our monthly photo draw, and as I looked at the rest of the pictures in his Facebook album, I thought they would be good to use on our site too.  The captions are taken right from their Facebook album.

Getting the brake pedal really close to the frame rail…

I was browsing Grant Schwartz’s website (www.schwartzwelding.com) today and stumbled on this 1947 Mercury gallery. Grant is doing some neat frame work here, but what I zeroed in on was the way he mounted the brake pedal bracket. He used a Welder Series #WS25800 kit, and instead of bolting the pedal bracket to the frame using the tabs in the kit, he shortened the lower plate and set the upper plate on top of the frame rail.  This is very similar to the way Lowdown Hotrods did the remote pedal kit in a Model A frame they built (pictures are on the WS25800 product page of our web store).  Both these methods will get the brake pedal very close to the inside of the frame rail.

You can also see our #00206 body mount plates Grant used.
