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...
