Hi,
Sorry, I don't have a pic of the panhard rod. Standard setup, goes from drivers side lower rear shock to a pass side frame bracket hanging down from frame. bar is level with the weight on the wheels. The front of the lower control arms I had reinforced also, and welded in a lakewood driveshaft safety loop. The upper control arm brackets were welded on the 9" rear at the wrong angle, gave a 22 degree downwards pinion angle. I rewelded them for a 4 degree angle.The narrowed 9" rear was 1/2" out also. They had the rear shock mounts 2" too high, had new ones welded in. The list of other stuff wrong is quite dissapointing. Good thing I am able to correct these things or it would be alot of extra money at a shop. This was NOT a bolt together kit. I would not recommend it.
That said ,I enjoy the cobra now, took 4 years of sweat to build it.
Perry.
