Installing a CNotch kit on my 63C 10. I’m to the point where I’m going to cut out the notch for the C notch but my Panhard bar mounting from the factory is in the way I don’t see any instructions on what to do with the Panhard mounting point. Certainly someone is running into this before. Can you give me some advice?

I would:

Mark the overlapping area w/a sharpie.
Drill a 3/8" hole @ the inside corner of the 90° area you need to trim.
Cut each side to the drilled hole & clean up the edges.

The drilled hole @ the 90° section will prevent any cracking @ the notch.

I ended up removing all 5 rivets that hold the pan hard bar mount to frame, removing the mount, trimming the C notch to clear, red rolling pan hard mounting holes. Plan on adding some weld beads when finished.
Hopefully this helps someone else.

Took the shocks loose and jacked up the rear differential to see how the travel would be after the installation.
Here’s a couple pictures ( not sure why they come in rotated?) l

Anyone use these shock relocator kits from eBay? They look to be the same as all the other ones that are around 70 bucks.
