Well Bruce, I don’t remember making any noises other than when I climbed in. I do remember holding the imaginary steering wheel and thinking about what students reactions will be on recruiting day.



Note to self: Make video of me, sitting in car making engine noises.

Steer Question
Should i try to get away with this. Personal preference is not to have steering out front. Not sure won't side load or twist to much.

Drag Link is supost to be level. Right?????

And last, I forgot a few student in last video so here is the new one.

My personal opinion is not to go with this spacer for the tie rod. For a fix I would bend the arms. You will lose some length in the process. If this is bothersome I'm sure Ron will cut you a set long enough to bend and still retain the desired length.

Yea I agree that ain't gonna work, at least not for long. I can cut out some arms with real long ends and not put any holes in the end for you. What about putting the arms on the other side and put them toward the front of the axle? I know the akerman is wrong, but it still works OK.

 

[estesken]

ok, at least for the time being. I'm not sure the ego of a autotech teacher will be able to let akerman alone. anyway, New more parts for us to play with.

Also made first meeting with the cowtown t's. I've seen two of the members cars up close, Lees and and larry Johnson's. I 'm thinking they may want me to park down the block from this club.

Two great looking buckets.
