Over the 1st few years of my car being on the road, I had to remake my pivot brackets for the tilt front end twice to correct the gaps between the fenders and doors. This told me my stub-to-frame joint was settling so I installed down bars from the sturdiest part of the body to the frame. I noticed right away the ride was stiffer so I knew there had been flex in my joint. I'm not saying your's is flexing, but changing gaps might show up in a good side shot video of your car carrying the front wheels. I'm just trying to help you have a safe car on the track. Gary
Phil....built 3 cars with all the stuff health wise you had going on... and now wheels up.. fantastic!
Ah that's nothing, the Suicide King did it on the street. Can't remember if the steering wheel came off, or the steering came apart. Glad you didn't have a worse outcome.
All things considered, you have to be thrilled how well the car went, and extremely happy that you just scuffed the wall. Could have been a whole lot worse. I pin almost all my joints and drill a dimple in the D-shafts to make sure the set screw won't let the shaft slide out. I also have a collar on my Willys at the bottom of the steering column so no mater how hard I pull on the wheel, the shaft cant move. Glad your ok and the car is ok.
