The results of you working unsupervised are pretty awesome to watch, Charlie.

Hope you're doing well!

When you don't know what you're doing, it's best to do it quickly.

And when I’m gone, you can call me foolish but hopefully not boring. I will have lived.

The more I learn about women, the more I like my car.

Thanks Colin, this is my therapy, it gives me direction and a purpose - also keeps me up at night problem solving the next days fabrication challenges..

Lot's of great idea's here, ZZ.
I'm with Mac on stealing the recessed steering U joint.
I'm 100 percent with you on the therapy part. Just spent 3 hours in the shop and felt the best I have in month's. Of course tomorrow may be another thing entirely. I'll let my PT deal with that.

Steering is complete - it's squeaker but a miss is as good as a mile I figure No header mods needed - pure luck in that situation...



Ever have 'made to fit' parts that don't fit??The headers are made for this engine/trans combo but the clutch throwout arm hit the collector flange and on the pass side the collector hit the bellhousing. I performed a collectorectomy (new word!!) and added 3" to each, angling them out of the way at the same time.

Lots of angle on that U joint, does it not bind?

Nope, still some gap, not maxed out. I think the angle of the pic makes it look more severe, it works smoothly.
