Well guys, I bit the bullet and cut things apart and did some more measuring.

Now the trailing arms sit where they're supposed to, at 42 1/2 inches, or there abouts, apart at the very end of them, centerline to centerline.

So, just some peace of mind, so I personally know that it's not a hack job.

No pics, yet. I'll try to work on it some more tomorrow.

I have to measure and find out where the crossmember needs to go, square it up, and make sure the axle is centered in the wheel wells. After that, raise the car up, and put the springs in, to see where they're going to ride.

Then it's modifying the stock crossmember for the spring mounts, and welding the trailing arm crossmember in...followed by bracing and plating and all that.

The panhard will be addressed soon enough, but not a huge concern of mine at the moment.

and...that should be about it.

I'll keep you posted. More progress should come soon since my semester is winding down.
