Default mini tub install.... i'd rather be kicked in the nuts!

so i started cutting out the wheel wells today on my 98 camaro. i've looked through some of the threads but didn't see what i was looking for. what is everybody else doing with their panhard bar mount? i was looking at it and it looks like i can cut the mounts off the frame and flip it around backwards and just build my own adjustable panhard bar and support. has anybody done this or can ya show me how yours is mounted? thanks

I'm not sure the DS is more difficult, but just different due to the fuel filler. Did you use Wolfe tubs or build your own? Post some pics!

i'm installing the wolfe tubs. i'll get pics tonight i've been trying to take as many pics as possible so i should have a decent how to thread. for the most part everything wolfe makes has had a great fit. the sub frame connectors are tacked in and after i get the tubs finished i'm installing their 10pt cage, anti roll bar, and a few other little toys
