Panhard bar

Decided to make a quick little pan hard bar today . It’s made out of 1 1/4 x .120 wall dom with heim joints and high angle spacers for the amount of travel this thing has .

Watts link

So the pan hard bar was bringing the rear end to far sideways when the car was put on the floor so I had to make a full custom watts link out of 3/16 plate and dom tubing and 2x2 1/4 square

Watts link

The second picture is the rear end fully up as far as it will go in the frame and it has very very minimal side to side movement .
 
Air bag mounts

So I made air bag brackets out of 3/16 plate and didn’t really get many pics besides this one that is them racked into place .
