I didn't get a whole lot done today. I am fighting off a little bug that everybody at work has had, so I kind of laid around the biggest part of today. But I did go over and mount the new steering drag link that came in from Speedway yesterday. As always, they did a great job, and it was right on the money. I had to drill out the steering arm and pitman arm to take a 5/8 bolt in each, but other than that it was a piece of cake.
Once I had it bolted on I turned the wheels sharp each way to see how it worked and if there were any obstructions. There aren't and the angle seems close enough that bump steer should not be a problem. Now I can turn the input shaft on the steering box and the wheels turn. That always feels good to get to that point.
Tomorrow I probably will blow the whole car apart to have it ready for Dan to do my final welding on the shock brackets, rear axle, brake pedal assembly, etc.
Here are some pictures of how the steering looks now all hooked up. Man, the humidity here in Florida is really helping out with the "patina." Looks like it is 100 years old. Can't wait until I get it sandblasted and painted.
Thanks for looking,
