You should be able to use your stock column without cutting it up. I used the flange adaptor from here: http://www.cachassisworks.com/c-1040...omponents.aspx

Then a standard U-joint down on the rack and it should clear. My rack is also tilted, but maybe not as far as yours. I'm using a Ford Thunder SC power rack.

Scott ... that's why I referenced Stielow's bible, good pixs! Still weighing the cost and benefits of all this!

That there is a good idea .... that's why I have my Camaro on this site, great people to share ideas with :thankyou: :thankyou:

Since the column is in the same place, and the a-arms and rack should be as well, there's no reason it shouldn't work with Scotts subframe. Only issue I can see is that his A-arm mounts are taller than mine. If you look early in my build thread you can see more details without the sheet metal and all in the way.

I'll check the angles and such later today .... these Unisteer joints are huge compared to the Borgeson's joints, I may switch them out to gain clearance!

Not sure if this will help you but here is my similar frame with Unisteer. I was able to remove the rag joint mount from my tilt column and used a Unisteer adapter. My rack isn't tilted.

Looking good chief!!!


Beach cruiser, you don't have a lock washer or any washers under the nuts on your upper control arms, why not?? aren't you worried about those parts coming loose?

He's using Nylocks

Thanks for the pixs guys, I do appreciate all opinions!

Not much to show today, as far as the Camaro that is .... spent this weekend putting up rigid insulation for a ceiling in the garage (tired of freezing my ... off!) came out nice still need to tape the edges.

My buddy and I pulled the subframe (w motor and tranny ...Uggg) forward to get my subframe connectors in, PITA :buttkick: Should have pulled the engine combo first, oh well it in and I'm tired of working w that Styrofoam stuff, what a mess that was, I want to work on the Camaro for awhile!

They are in, still need to push them back flush and get the welder out and make some heat!

I'm gonna go and work on the Camaro now ... no more insulation stuff, supposed to snow tomorrow too, perfect timing!!

Thanks for comments guys .....

Turn up the heat ...
 

welding generates heat! So I worked on getting the subframe connectors lined up and snug .... (a little anal retentive) I had to open one side to get the subframe to line up with the rear frame rail and left a gap on one side, grrrrr.

Well I got the connectors in and welded to the floor, still need to attach the seat metal to the floor, waiting on warmer day to spray some epoxy under the seat frames.

Any progress is good . Looking good chief.
