sure looks good. I wonder who built it. Gary, I sold the car to a guy in Virginia about 4 years ago. Kinda sad to see it on ebay. Great to see it again. I was wondering what happen to it. I have been giving it thought to building another one. Thank you for posting Gary.

I really like the car, Tyrone. It looks great in that setting.

Do you have any photos, or can you describe the steering set up?

Thanks,
Tom

Tom. I believe I have more photos but not sure if I have any of the steering setup. The steering column housing and shaft was cut short and laid flat inside my body frame work which was 1 inch u-channel iron. At the bottom of the steering I used the normal steering shaft end at the orginal angle and used the T shaft guide. To make the turn from the flat shaft to the angle down to the wheels I used a steering u-joint from Jegs Racing parts. I used the timing rod and also had to make the same angle change of the steering. The way I did that was to use a 1/4 drive u-joint. I hope that makes sense.
