    Was just wondering how traditional cowl steering is?...i know early sprint cars used it, but was interested in when they were started to be used in hot rods? any early hot rod pics would be cool too!

    Off the top of my head i'm thinking that cowl steering was a result of installing center steering in the hot rod circle track racers way back when. Ya think so, maybe?
