I really appreciate all the input.

I think I'm gonna go with shackles both sides. I already own brand new components to do so. I had already ordered them since I'm taking off the old painted tube axle hardware and replacing with chrome I beam. This set up seemed a bit funky to me from the get go. I'll see how the car works w/o the panhard bar and add one later if I feel it's necessary.

Again, thanks for all the input, you guys are awesome.
