Finely crafted tradtional rod. Thanks for the thread.

 

very wicked. i like what you did with the cowl steering support, kinda wish mine wasnt done already. keep it up

keith

 

Just a few update pictures, I'll have more in the following weeks.






Here is my cowl steering set-up, not finished yet, but close.


Lincoln brakes (from Riley Automotive)

 

It's nice to see the steering mounted solidly to the frame. The sheetmetal/cowl mounted steering set ups dont add up IMO.

 

Looks great sitting on the rubber bands man! Looks like good progress!

Did you figure out the shock issues you were having?

 

That first picture looks just so right!

 

God that looks rad! What steering box is that?

 

Chris thats going to one fine mo sheen....

Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'll see you in the rear view

 

perfect stance. looks mean!

 

Made a custom steering column. It's 1.5" diameter and 12" long, made from stainless steel.
Since the Mopar box had these six holes, I threaded them to accept 5/16" bolts, to hold the column.
Tapping the box

Making a flange. I simply used a 3" washer 1/8" thick, and drilled 6 holes.



Making sure it fits

Welded the flange to the column.

On the other end I pressed a slightly oversized bearing on, the create a flared appearance.

Done. The column will hold a 3/4" steering shaft that will receive a tapered and keyed end on one side and a 3/4", 36 sline coupler on the other.
Voila. A custom column drop will have to be created.

 

WOW!!! Not THAT was a good idea!!!! I've been thinkin' about columns for my Cuda box quite a bit lately.

Are you going to run a support bearing in the cowl side this time to support your extended pitman arm shaft?

 

Awesome build! That´s some serious inspiration!
Chris

 

It's a 1966 manual Mopar box

It looks like it might actually happen

Yeah, it needs to be solid.

Thanks, not sure about the pitman arm bearing yet.

Thanks, that means alot

 

FUCK! You do some fantastic work! Always the innovator....

 

Nice work Chris - again!

 

I'm really impressed with your steering set up. Make sure you post pictures of the extended sector and the steering arm. Taking notes cuz I'm a copy cat.

 

Damn Chris!!! nice work!!

 

Love this thread. Great build.

That steering box is a great solution. Very adaptable and looks good too.

Pete

 

Bring it to the roundup in '09 so I can see this Beauty close up...

 

Damn Chris! Lookin' good. Great work as usual. I wanna come by and see it again.

 

Great work Chris!

 

Damn, looks like that tire was MADE for your coupe! By the way, I'm stealing the coulmn idea for my Mopar box. Someday.
