It was that intense with Tolleson grinding away...
Man, I'd love to see some footage of this action.
I seen WCT change a tire on a Jeep once and he managed to muck that up. God help us if he's got the Miller fired up.
God help us all!!...thanks for the help CT,...I so hope Grogan was able to get FC to come weld!!

So, prior to all the gangster pics and CT's efforts to turn the rig into a chopped rat rod, we left off with a plan of relocating the panhard 1" forward and .5" up. We'll pick up there story there.
A new mount was made for the axle end, the frame end mount was ground on and relocated, the frame and front cross member were notched, and a whole lot of support plate was added back:

The front was cycled again to check for clearances...we ended up moving the frame end of the panhard back just a bit further and putting a very slight bend in the panhard bar itself to gain some clearance for the driver side steering links:
