Hey dudes, don'[t laugh too hard! It is actually raining out here today. Well, there have been sprinkles, most of it doesn't even touch the ground before it evaporates. Pretty crazy though, it never rains here in the summer.

Yes, I have grown soft due to the weather out here. Bite me! ;)

Dude

you gonna be around the shop this evening or next?

You'll kindly note that there is no online order form on our website, and probably won't ever be. This was done on purpose...we talk to every single customer to make sure they are getting exactly what they want, even if it isn't our kit.

With that said, the "product" page isn't set in stone, and I think we'll be tweaking it here and there to cut down on the repetitive questions.

Steering gear question
 

Hi Steve,

Awesome progress sir !!!

Quick question from the picts. I'm doing a C5 front end on a hot rod and need to lower the steering rack as low as possible. The C5 engine sets behind the rack and is down low in stock form. I need to run the engine over the rack and will install a GTO front sump pan - but still need a little more room. Saw your setup and noticed you removed the upright steering arms - and added a bolt on arm that appears to be lower. Can you provide the manufacture info of your rack and those arms ?

Keep up the great work and Thanks !!

PS, my project is putting a 2002 C5 suspension and drivetrain under a 65 porsche 356 coupe.... strange - but fun.

The subframe came from 21st century street machines.. not sure what part of the steering you are talking about. 21st modified the rack and steering arrangement to work with thier subframe. I think that's what you were refering to. Maybe they can help you out.

Your project sounds way cool.. start a thread and post some pics.. we love pics here.. lol

I like the look of your rims and tires too! Very nice!

Mark has been hard at work welding stuff on my car.. man, he does nice work. My 3rd member showed up today and the rear is now in powder paint. The 17th is the tentative date where we start the engine install. Some pics:

Looks good Steve, I guess it's time to drop the fuel cell and make way for the new tank....progress is good!!

So why did you go with new tires, the Pilots appeared to be in good shape?

The tank is long gone.. what you see is a well that the tank sit inside of. A new 20 gal fuel tank is being fabbed by Ricks Hot Rod Shop..

I wanted sticky R-compound tires.. I'm a man on a mission to break the PHR testing records.. or at least try.
