Looks good. I would keep a look out in the yards for a 3rd Gen Trans Am/Fomula/Z28 36mm Front sway bar and Straps/bushings. These are hollow and weigh about 1/2 of a 32mm G-body bar.
There are a decent amount of them around here. Weight isn't a huge concern for me thats why I didn't get too picky. Do you think the slightly larger hollow sway bar would make a noticeable difference with what all I already have? I can't see it helping much more but I do like the idea of the weight saving

I swapped in a Z28 bar myself many years ago when I also put on Hotchkis lowering springs (previous springs were worn out stockers with cheap parts store spacers inserted), a stock rear sway bar, and a pair of F41 bars (didn't have the GP cross brace up front yet, have one now though). I don't know how much difference each individual part made, but it feels like it's on rails compared to when I first bought it (old springs, tiny sway bar, worn out body mounts, rusted out frame, etc.).

We're in the process of building a barn, and soon as it's car-ready I'll get that sucker in there and get back to work on it (clutch issues + other things left to do before it's really road-ready).

Yeah that's where I'm at now. Al new suspension and braking system. I can't wait until spring time to see how she really rides. I need an electronic vacuum pump and install my bucket seats. My car throws you all over place with nothing but a flat seat to hold you in
