Close up of the left traction bar. Anybody recognize the style? Lakewood maybe?

MOTION emblem. Apparently when the car was repainted the pins on the back were broken off so some idiot drilled 'em and used screws to reinstall.

I don't ever recall seeing MOTION emblems with pins...are those perhaps casting gates?
I had a friend who didn't want to use tape to hold the emblems on so he ran two screws in the emblem...one through the center of each "O".

There are holes under the rocker panels under the doors, most likely for side pipes. Here is a pic of the remnants from a welded on bracket. I'll get a better picture later. It's kinda hard to get under the car when it's parked in an enclosed trailer!

This was originally a Z-28. The OEM upper swaybar brackets are still in place on the frame, but now being used as an exhaust hangar.

...and a pic of me in 1982 with my '70 1/2 Z-28...

My rusty bell is still not ringing - but you sure can't argue with a car from Kevin Suydam's personal collection!

That bar doesn't look like the Lakewood bars I'm familiar with - double snubber?

This is an early Lakewood bar -

I never saw a real Lakewood bar that didn'd attach to the bottom of the spring, replacing the original shock plate/spring retainer, not clamped to the spring. The bar in this picture looks to be a late model cheapie wanna be traction bar..... maybe a Blackjack or the like.
