Nice work! And using only one limb? You must'a cheated and used your teeth to hold it.

i've been meaning to make one of these since i put my intrax springs on, the rear axle sits way off. just wondering if you could list all the parts and sizes and where you got them. and one thing im not sure about either is how much movement do you need the panhard bar to have in order to line up the axle, what length is your bar and how far can it push out and retract. thanks bud.

JeepGirl - Maybe we should call 911 for Phatboy???

Phatboy could be chronically accident prone. By now, he may not have any working appendages!

lol I'm sorry people i totally forgot about this thread my stches are out now (did it myself) But im pretty sure my finger is broken ,i can sorta move it a bit and it hurts like a mofo , and when i whack it on something

Thanks for the info. Maybe you should get that finger looked at?
At least the stiches are out. That's good to hear.

I think that if the parts were laid out on the bench, I could figure out how to fabricate one. I have an RPR-bought adjustable bar now so would help too.

It's not mine! My '71 is stock. Found the picture on some Japanese automotive image board awhile back.
That VW would look killer at night with about 10 kilowatts of blue neon underneath. Hmmm....I've got a pop rivet gun....




Jeepgirl - How about this 4x4?
