looks good, your welds look like you've welded a little pipe in your time

or the pumps and stainless 6" pipping you have in the corner of your garage might be a give away

Unfortunately, I can't take credit for those welds.
Some of the contractors working @ my job are the shiz! Me? Not so much. But, I get better each time I pull the trigger & that's what I wanted.

Nice work.

How's the other end of the panhard bar attached?

The current set-up is Porterbuilt 3" drop truck arms. They have a bracket (PHB/shock mount) that sandwiches between the rear housing & the truck arm. Prior to that (& where I learned the PHB came too close to the differential cover), I had home-made lowering blocks w/the PHB mount built into the block.

Stay thirsty, my friend.

Scoti - Looks Good!! for the mounts, Could you take a few pics of the other end of the PHB, where it mounts to the truck arm?

Count me in for more pictures of the rest of the frame/chassis. What your you doing in the front? Dropmember?
I hope to get mine in the garage by the end of the weekend and start on my running gear...

Kool mount and nice work, but my question is the slot gonna let the PHB move? I personally would have gone with three holes....

It will let it move to set it perfectly parallel. Once that is achieved, I can tack the washers to the bracket. Between the bolt & the tack welds.... it's not going anywhere (& can be infinitely adjusted within the given range if needed).

...

I'll get some pics up of the other side. And yes, the front has a V3.1 DM.

some internal tooth lockwashers and a locknut would keep it from moving. three holes would also.

Sprint cars use a similar style adjustable mount... except it's billet steel and a lot more expensive and complex looking. Nice job SCOTI, But we need pics of how it attaches to the arm.

Looks like you need some bigger wheels

That's one of those elusive 15x8" Kelsey Hayes steelies. I was mocking things up & took that pic for Nathan to show some PB 3" truck arms actually were dead even on the scrub-line vs. a OE truck arm w/a 2" lowering block.

I'm really torn on wheels for this project.... I have a full set of steelies that will be the most probable choice. I also have a set of polished 18/20" TT2's stacked up in the corner of the garage. I want more of a 'vintage' look & don't think the torq-thrusts will help. The steelies are a sure deal & the price was definitely 'budget friendly' while other options aren't.

And to the nay-sayers.... I was posing in that pic.

is that tab hanging below the scrub line the shock mount?

I brushed my hair & shaved that week too .

Yes, that lower shock mount is 1" below the scrub-line for a 15" wheel. But, those arms were intended for larger diameter wheels. The 2" PB truck arms utilize a shorter shock bracket that keeps it above the scrub-line. I think you can get the 2" shock mount w/the 3" arms (that's what he was going to do for me when he realized I got 3" T/A's). I was planning for & expecting 2" T/A's.

How big of a frame notch are you planning to use with those arms?

It's a home made c-notch (the equivalent of a small step notch). My calculations say the rear housing will approx be above the top of the original frame rail location @ full drop.

I'll be posting my build thread soon. I just wanted the chassis sorted & able to roll before I officially started the thread.

What do you mean by three holes would also [help]?

He meant instead of a slot (like what I did), I could have done multiple sets of holes for adjustment (like the opposite side was done).
