    Stefan, what is the servo pump for? Looking at the hose hookups I would guess for power steering, just curious.

    Nice work...

    Using the stock spindles and arms, you don't have to rethink the factory's steering geometry. You are just replacing what was in between that did the same job, with something more efficient..

    I dig it!

    I have to admit, when I first looked at this thread and saw the condition of this shoebox I thought WOW!! this guy is really in over his head. But I did'nt realize he had way more talent then what I expected. Keep it up man, I cant wait to see your kustom done and running. You have alot of good talent.

    cool, I jsut stumbled upon this site. That's where my middle name came from "Wynn's Friction Proofing". My daddy loved hotrods in the 60's
     
  29. think the title "my shoebox chop" is slightly understated. very cool.
