Tri-Five Chevy 4 to 2 Door Conversion Gets a Rack and Pinion?

[@Zazu2You]

Too bad that upper u-joint had to be sanded. First time I have watched a rack install on a ‘57. Looks great. Cheers!! 😎

[@junksautomotive]

@Zazu2You It will work out in the end! Thanks Zazu! Hope your having a great Sunday!

[@anviltech1839]

Hey Mike. Good call changing the steering for a more modern system. You won't be constantly correcting it in a straight line, like in the old movie driving scenes. Great work 👏

[@junksautomotive]

That's what I was thinking. Thanks Aron! Be careful around those trains! 😉

[@DougScriver]

Have the same one on my 55 bel air love it

[@junksautomotive]

@DougScriver I hope the steering shaft was easier for you! Thanks Doug. Have a great Sunday

I like it! Good work there Mike! 😎

@richsmith6952 Thanks Rich! Hope your having a cool week!

Very nice

@travis2318 Thanks Travis!

[@jeregriffith6277]

you are doing a great job

[@junksautomotive]

@jeregriffith6277 Thank J! I will keep on trying to do just that! Hope to hear from you again soon and your having an awesome week!!! Mike from Junk's Automotive

[@michaelstrafello7346]

Looks like maybe a third joint should be their

[@junksautomotive]

@michaelstrafello7346 I'll figure something out. A I'm thinking a 3rd joint will mean that shaft will have to be anchored with a bearing. So, we'll see. Thanks for checking it out Michael!

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Great video Mike, loved the car impressions! That looks like a great kit for the money. Can you add an additional U-joint down lower on that long end to solve the binding?

[@junksautomotive]

@greggsvintageworkshop8974 Thanks Greg. I think what will actually happen is i will get another joint and cut the end of the column shorter. Seems like I remember something about that having to be done. Or a different column that's shorter. Less joints the better I believe. Thanks for checking it out buddy!

Looks good, great price on the steering rack, i think you could put another swivel in that steering shaft just an idea? And how much did you use the instructions? And thats why we do things to our projects cause it our money not a customers open check book. Have a good week of fun.

[@junksautomotive]

@rongladden809 Hey Ron! Believe it or not I did follow exactly what the instructions said lol. So, something is funny. They could have thrown "simular" u-jioints in the box.... like some of the hardware. Hope you have a great week buddy!

[@ryanhicks942]

Have you said before what your engine choice is going to be? That chassis front is starting to look sweet!

[@junksautomotive]

@ryanhicks942 I have Ryan but it's been a while. 327, steel crank, 202 heads..... high compression and rowdy camshaft! Thanks for checking it out buddy! Oh yeah, manual trans 😉

[@jackiedonaldson7718]

I can tell who got the money now!

[@junksautomotive]

@jackiedonaldson7718 Ha! I've saved all I could to build this stupid thing. I'm very sure I'll run out! Lol. I have tons of boxed up used parts I've bought when I saw a cheap deal too. I just squirrel stuff away when I can 😉 Have a good Sunday Jack!

[@jackiedonaldson7718]

@@junksautomotive you too Mike!

[@johnclarke2553]

Well, now I know how that installing a rack and pinion into a '57 Chevy is not the easiest of jobs. I might pass on that one!

[@junksautomotive]

Well I'm all in it now John! 😉 I'll be very happy with it in the end. Thanks for checking it out buddy. Make a deal on that MGA?

[@johnclarke2553]

@@junksautomotive Still thinking about it, a lot to ponder, as you said!

[@junksautomotive]

@johnclarke2553 well, good luck John. I get excited for other people and the projects they have. Yeah alot to consider for sure. Cheers!

[@toejam503]

I hope you have oil pan clearance. There's no way to shorten the upper part of the steering column?

[@junksautomotive]

Hey Toejam, I'll figure something out. The "instructions" claim a small block with car pans will clear. Lol. Hope you have a great week buddy!

[@junksautomotive]

@toejam503 and yeah, I may go with a different column all together. Cross that bridge when I circle back around to it 😉

[@coreypint8358]

I hope you figure that steering out.That's a complicated one.

[@junksautomotive]

@coreypint8358 Just another hurdle that I'll figure out! Don't give up 😉 Good hearing from you, Corey 👍

[@grantlucas6678]

Gee shit geometry on that steering rack, And a dangerous set up

[@junksautomotive]

@grantlucas6678 Will work out just fine Grant. Glad your watching!
