Panhard bar solution...maybe?

I don't want to have to get an adjustable PH bar, I want the stock look, but with my Panel being lowered, I know that the stock one will be too long. I've been considering this for some time, and finally I came up with this idea. It's going to be some time before I have everything back together, but I need something there for now. At my work, we use these things, giant coil rod turnbuckles, to straighten the foundation walls we pour:


I cut the thing up, and a few minutes with the welder, I came up with this:


Now, I have no intention of ever using this to drive with, that would be crazy, but after everything is back together, I can adjust this to the proper length, then I can know how long I need to make my stock one.



Seems like it ought to work to me. I guess I'll see.

I don't see why it wouldn't work for measuring the right length. That's a pretty clean looking chassis there. Is that Project Boogie Chillin? I'll go check it out

It does look like you've made some good progress since the last update! That is one nice build you have going there.
