The steering rack looks fantastic with the extra details added.

vintagedragfan Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 I added the power steering lines to the rack,, later all I need to do is add the lines from the pump to the rack some tie rods and some clamps on the boots and a little clean up and maybe some polishing and should be good, as long as it all works ........thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagedragfan Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) got some more work done to the steering set up, these are the inner tie rods and dust boots <<<<< here they are assembled, with 360 deg movement, they need to move up and down for the suspension and front to rear for the arc when the wheels are turned mocked up Edited March 25, 2013 by vintagedragfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagedragfan Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) here are the outer tie rods, I used the same method I used for the ball joints only smaller, they all so have complete movement <<<< with aluminum caps with a grease zerk and a couple jamb nuts all mocked up fully functioning needs a little fine tuning at final assy. but it seems to work pretty good somehow, thanks for looking!

uncle potts Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I feel like I should say something......its just so unreal how real it looks......I'm once again amazed, at the skill you have. The tough part is trying these techniques for myself. This is actually encouraging me to push myself. Keep up the fantastic work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTBACK340 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 1/25th. scale Zerk fittings........ I don't think I've ever had that thought in my mind. Ever. I mean, in my totall recall of anything I've ever read, said, or thought of, I can say with all honesty I've never experienced those numerals and characers stringed together to form those words: 1/25th. scale Zerk fittings.......wow.
