Re: Rebuilding Dad's Panoz; LS1 swap
Ordered new swaybar bushings from Panoz and found them to have more play in the inner diameter than the ones I took off the car. The bar is 1.250", the ID of the ones I took off the car with some wear was 1.265-1.275", and the ID of the brand new ones was 1.280-1.285". I ended up wrapping the ends of the bar in teflon tape to take up any play in the ends; worked great.
Cleaned up the brake lines and t-fitting that came off the car. I really think they painted these cars after they put them mostly together as everything seems to have black paint on it. I initially thought the front lines were just dirty, but it was dirt and black paint. Purchased a new firewall-to-t-fitting line from Panoz as the one on the car had been bent around so mmany times it looked like a wet noodle. Also, it was held in place with a zip-tie vs. the adel clamps and tek screws the Panoz assembly manual recommends.
Coming together...
