DeathsDoorStep steering working now

It looks much better than I had mocked up originally, seems to work great and the box does not move at all when in use.......Littleman

 

looks MUCH better! Looked a bit agricultural before, thats heaps better, great job.
One awesome car.

 

what kinda gearbox is that...this looks exactly like what i am getting ready to do with my coupe..."inside steering". Kudus to one great ride, L/man!!! Cain't wait to see it done....wait...they're NVRRDUNN!!

 

That's wicked, as the whole car. I've never before seen "inside-steering", never ever even came in my mind!

 

Very Very nice !!!

 

Looks great, doesn't protrude from the cowl as much as I thought it would. Workmanship is awesome as usual!

 

LOVE the final version! Version 1.0 kinda ****ed, and you knew it enough to revise. The lines are all kept intact so you freaking succeeded.

Keep up the kick *** work and us Jones'in for more.

 

BAD A$$ it look's much better!

 

That looks fantastic, and the geometry is right too,now.Nice problem solving...but heres another problem solving challenge...how the hell do you replace the two back spark plugs????dont hemis have long cap things to reach down to the plugs?surely there aint enough room under the cowl to pull them out!????

 

......Rodder's Journal needs to be do***enting this build!!!

 

great progress as always, but did that dash brace says 4 1/9 inches on it?

 

I like the pillow block. I'll bet it dosen't move. good work.

 

The cowl was welded in from its drag racing days from way back when, I plan on cutting it to make it removeble, then you can get to everything with no problem......................Littleman

 

close............................4 1/8''

 

it looks like a nine, but i think the camera's flash was just right and blocked part of the 8 making it look like a 9.


i said if you're making a ch***is that is that damn awesome measuring inches in ninths, i was gonna start measuring everything in ninths too!



tred.

 

Looks great Dave, thanks for letting us in on your thought process, this is much cooler than your first version.

 

yeah only the ******** measure in 9ths.
Sometimes i like to use 11ths and 13ths too for greater accuracy.

 

Sorry, I have no idea what this box is out of.....................Littleman

 

I like that alot better. Really good smooth flow now.

 

Damn it!! Get that car done! I wanna see it doin' 1/2 mile burnouts.
Great solution to a 'simple' problem. Looks alot better than last week.

 

Right on!! that kicks ***.

 

Wow, this thing is comin together pretty quick, will be one tough thing when done.

 

That is entirely TOO *****in.

Looks good man, I love that ride.

So is it going to be done in time for "Hugfest '06" in Detroit?

 

I bought a cheap piece of **** Chinese benchtop drill press a few years ago that had the depth scale divided up into ninths of an inch...really, I couldn't believe it, I recounted many times and sure enough...ninths.

 

Looks good. Is the pedal just setting there or is it installed ? It looks like it's only 3" forward of the steering wheel mounting collar ? Maybe it's an optical illusion ?

 

It is mounted, its a little more back than 3", but since I wear the largest kids shoe I have the clearance....When sitting in the seat, and mash the brake their is no interference..........otherwise I would have to rethink it, but its good to go..........Littleman

 

I hope to make it, I sent in the form and the cash, and am bustin my tail to get this thing to the point to take it to Detroit.....Hugfest 06.Littleman
