Thread: One way to build a '32 sedan

Richard - I'm probably not explaining it clearly. The Schroeder steering boxes were the most used way back hen. Indy cars used them and sprint cars still use them I think. I just think they look cool. I have used them in the past but when you mount them in the correct height inside the car to get the correct geometry outside the car so you don't have any bump steer you can beat the snot out of your shins. Especially in a clutch car, it takes up a lot of room. So now that I'm "older" I want more comfort so I just came up with a way of getting the correct geometry to eliminate bump steer and give me more room for my legs. That's all this is.

Jack- I don't know what DTI is, sorry.

Steve- Thanks, I think It's going to work out good, I hope!!


I stopped on the steering for a while and went back to filling the roof. I bought a wood kit for it thinking that would give me the correct curvature of the roof. That didn't work so now I'm back to making brackets and forming the roof by hand. I will weld these in then slot some 1/2 tubing over them and create the curvature of the roof with the tubing, then weld it up, then start laying the new sheet metal on.
