I have a 47 Merc 2ton I'm working on. There's quite a bit of play in the steering box. It doesn't really bother me but I'm thinking I'm going to have to get this truck certified down the road.

Pete mentioning of his son and his car got me thinking of this subject. When I was a kid, my dad was always fixing something. Not really a hot rodder, but he used to buy old VWs and fix them up and resll them, always was dragging lawn mowers etc home. I guess I got my ways from him. My first bike was some piece of...

Here's a few pics of my 34 Dodge. All 4 doors are suicide. It was a project for 6 years, now it's almost all done.

My car now has a saginaw 700 variable ratio stering box. It drives well and steers nice at all sppeds but the turning radius could be improved. There is more steering travel available but the pitman arm's swing is too short to get that extra travel, so a longer arm would probably fix this. I am thinkin...

The van thread and the talk of the Coca Cola prize vans got me thinking of another custom car that was given in a contest. Most of you were likely too young, but in 1967 George Barris built these Olds Toronodo custom cars that Esso gave away. Here are a few links about them [img]http://www.blogcdn.com/w...
