cool

Nice setup how long did it take you to install ? and what did you have to do to get it in the car? thanks
 
I am interested in a step by step replay also. Any torching, cutting, welding required?
 
pretty much remove your old steering system.
clean the frame.
find out where you want to run the steering shaft and what angles you want.
weld the brackets to the frame and mount the rack.
You can make the shaft from the column to the rack various lengths, and angles
Some go threw the frame, etc...

Here is more info on the install

Phil, Looks like you did it similar to Otto. ie. you didn't run the shaft through the crossmember per the instructions. Looks good. Can I assume, when you run it that way you can do the whole job without pulling the motor?
Thanks for the pics, Scott

Looks good..

Got any pics of the welded brackets that u can share ? Thanks.
