who makes the steering stuff, looks like a nice place to shave some weight.

I stopped over "the" best stocked speed shop in Jersey, Bruce's Speed Shop http://www.brucesspeed.com/ . Jam packed with everything you could imagine from street to drag race, road race and roundy rounders Bruce always has some cool stuff in his shop.

I can't wait to scale this stuff- it is superlite weight componentry.:evil

When I am done I will put together a parts list for the complete steering conversion. :rockwoot:

I need to get a rack mounting kit and bushing/hardware pkg. then I can weld in the mounts and install the rack.

:Cheer: Planning on having the front roll cage braces bend down, pick up the frame where I cut it, then bend under the engine and back up the otherside same fashion. Then off of this I will have a tubular structure for the front end and fiberglass bumper. This way it will be stronger and lighter in weight.:evil:evil

:Cheer:

1- Dodge
2- Lock up
