Checking in to say - This video is awesome and crazy informative. Easy to understand, explained really well. Prepping to put a 36 Ford coupe rat back on the road that hasn’t seen road in 40+ years with zero suspension still attached the way it sits now. Keep up the great vids!

Thanks for the video. My dad started building his own custom street rod but passed away before finishing it. I hope to finish it so I subscribed and will reach out to you with questions.

On angling steering box to make the steering not as sharp, couldn’t you heat and bend pitman bar to make up to flat angle
@calirod Жыл бұрын
good question! the short response is no :) reason being is that even after bending the pitman arm (no matter the shape or angle) you are still rotating the pitman arm on the same "plane" or surface as before.

My drag link angle to tie rod is a bit more then yours , I’m nervous this won’t work well , I could use a longer pitman arm that would help but they don’t make em for my 66 Fairlane steering box , I’m kinda stuck

It really just changes the “feel” as you get further in your travel it’s going to feel like your hand/steering wheel input has less effect on the tires turning. Which is not the end of the world. The CRITICAL thing is to make sure at full lock the drag link and pitman arm are not a straight line or a few degrees from it. This way you can’t accidentally “lock” your steering.

The music is very distracting and makes it hard to understand the valuable information that can be found here.

Thanks for the input Karl, at the time I was making this video I was still learning how to properly add music with out it getting in the way! But hope the other you watch get better with more practice / skill
