    This is off Pats website :

    Hello, my name is Pat Austin. I'm the proud owner of Austin's Pro Max. I want to thank you for visiting our website. If you don't know much about your vehicle, we're here to help. Before I tell you what we're about, here's a bit of history.
    In 1960 my grandfather, Walt opened Walt's Radiator. My dad went to work for him. Six months later Walt passed away. My dad took the reigns and ran the company. He did all the work and sold the jobs.
    In time my father opened thirty five stores and six warehouses. Some of the locations were in Seattle, Portland and Colorado. I grew up in the business.
    I worked for my dad while going to high school. I worked after school and on weekends. He trained me on the art of automotive repair. I learned the importance of safe and reliable auto repair.
    He asked if I wanted to take the business over for him. But at the time I had other plans.
    My dad sold the business and retired. Our family went into professional racing for fifteen years.
    Once I became married, I retired from racing. I opened Austin's Pro Max. Now we have three convenient locations for you. We're located in Puyallup, Tacoma and Spanaway, WA.

    Hey Ed, I know this is your first post on this board and I wanted to say welcome again.
    Hopefully you got an answer you can trust.
    The majority of guys like the addition of sway bars.
    Ed did you know a front stabilizer bar was an option in 1955.

    Good, back to the topic. Do you know if the sway bar option was a dealer or factory installed?

    I remeber watching Pat get in so much trouble one day at the track. At that time you had to be so careful during the burn out not to blow up. They did not have that device that stops you from being able to hold the car wide open during a burn out. I cant remeber if it was a final round but it was a very important run. Pat rolled out of the water and flattened it and Boom the day was over. I am not sure if his dad was his crew chief or not, but that kid caught shit hard that day. I felt bad for him.
