decided to ditch the panhard and go ahead with a watts link. i have a few bushings left over for the piviot in the center. do i need to set the bars parallel to the ground at ride height on the watts or does it even matter?? started on my engine compressor mount but i cant go any farther until the new clutch comes in. not bad tho i only have about 150 in my compressor set up.

we were planning on putting a hatchet man in the bed of my truck when i get the sheetmetel done so i did a rough (well really rough) cutout on cardboard of an idea i had for the center pivot on my watts link.

my old compressors are shot man not worth haveing. u can get and engine driven pretty cheap tho. i got 2 sheets of sheetmetal but i'm gonna have to wait to do the bed so i can get my engine driven compressor in. ended up tearing my wireing harness the other night while dragging. got it patched for now but im going to totally redo the front later on.
