vintagedragfan Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) I had so many people ask me if the steering wheel was going to turn when you move the wheels I figured I might actually see if I could, here is what I came up with, started with an aluminum block drilled a couple holes turned a couple pieces and found some small gears out of a watch, seems to work! http://public.fotki....er-update-stee/I added the tape so I could see if it was turning or not, LOL Edited March 1, 2012 by vintagedragfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooneyzs Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Bill.... this build is flat out beautiful. Those headers look awesome.. I can't wait to see more of this build. Is your front radius rods made from tubing or from rod. I see it looks like you crimped the ends flat where the bolts go thru. Keep up the great work Edited February 29, 2012 by Mooneyzs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
