Wow red line and rev, that must have been a pain to get that steering box out with the motor in!
I hate when stuff like that happens! I was thinking about going with a firm feel box that is a little tighter. The power steering is my car seems liek it assit was to much and starts getting loose. Which box did you choose?? Lookin good as always.

Rob !!! Love the burnt ornage interior and power windows!!!  :drool:

We didn't want to wait around for another week for an ordered part, nor did we want to pay the $400 for a firm feel because we didn't have a problem with how the original felt.  So, we went to Autozone and got a replacement for $129.  Had a bugger of a time trying to get that pitman arm off....even broke one of our pullers.

Nice work you all, sure looking super sweet. This is a no brainer, but a reminder none the less.............make sure you immediatedly clean up any brake fluid leaks because that stuff is some of the best paint remover you can get your hands on,lol. It makes painted surfaces look like  sunburn scales.

Hey Robb.  We don't have a firmfeel box, so I can't help you out with that one.  Sorry.
