Well, I thought the panhard bar I had was going to be long enough for a drag link, I was wrong. I'm going to the scrap yard, which sells new steel and get some pipe to make a drag link. I cut the factory 50 ford drag link in half and am going to plug weld the rods in each end of the pipe, there will be about 6 inches in each end of the 31 inch pipe. Only about 18 inches will be hollow. I have some solid round the same size I can put in the 18 inch pipe to make it all solid or would this be overkill? I don't really care about weight considering without the engine I can lift the front about 2 inches off the ground with all the suspension and wheels and I'm not a big guy.
 
Found these in the trash on my way to the cemetery today.

First thing I've painted in over 20 years. I used to paint for buddies around town but life got too busy. I wish I'd stuck with it.
