Im going with a heavy duty white line sway bar. And it looked close when I was doing a test fit and i did not want to risk it hitting later on. So while it was of and apart I added the scallop.

The front section of the inner sill has a fancy u shape to hold the guard nuts, so a started on that. Found a couple bits of steel to fold it over at the right thickness.


Cut to shape



Test fit still needs a couple of cuts to get to fit

Hey Cam, I'm doing the same, shifter mechanism from a tarago, cable from a falcon. Should work a treat.
