Love this build Cris!

I was thinking of using electric power steering on my new project, because I bought a 2011 gt500 engine, but the Ford rack that came with the pull out was broken and a new one costs $1500 and I wasn't sure how the ECU would work in a different car. Next I looked at the Flaming River unit that Matt from Anvil is running and realized it costs $6000 - now I think electric power steering is cool, but 6 grand cool? and that cost doesn't include a column or rack!

TurnKey has been playing around with using what I believe is an electronic conventional unit that adjusts pressure based on speed so the steering "weights up." I think it is an OE Toyota part that Porsche guys first started to retrofit.

We had a meeting today about this.. My machinist said.. don't worry about it.. we will get her done!! We got a good game plan for the the power steering.. design with machining a few brackets & pulleys.. it will be a while till we get to that though.. We have alot of other work we need to get done first .. but I see a few other Mustangs coming on that might need these parts also..

Ben Hermance Rendering
 
Just got the approval from the owner on the rendering!

We wanted to see the car in two different colors..

Red is the color Nick has picked! At first it was going to be flat red with flat black stripes.. but owner took Ben's advise on a bright cinnamon red metallic!
