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...
