Fantastic!! Congrats. That looks great. I like the trunk touch. Where did you get those from? They fit perfectly.

I'd like to know too, thanks.
My friend was at that show with his FFR Cobra

They are from Hobby Lobby, I cut them down and put them back together to fit. They cover the amp and infinity box
The little one is where I keep matchbox hot rod cars to give to the little ones that take an interest in the car.

Beautiful! Love the trunk in the trunk, I've been thinking that a large trunk in the bed of the '35 truck would be awesome too.

Discovered my front passenger wheel had movement side to side. Removed the boot and discovered the rubber bushing that should have been inside the rack housing was no longer seated in the housing. Anyone had their steering rack bushing/seal come out at the rack housing end as shown in the photos.

Only fix appears to be replacing the steering rack. Has anyone found another source for the steering rack other than FFR? I have 800 miles on the FFR supplied steering rack that should have lasted 50K miles.

I read where the 1980 Dodge Omni - Steering Rack (42 in. overall rack length) part number REPD289501 is a drop in replacement and was wondering if anyone can confirm this?

I was told by Brett @ Ridetech "You might contact Woodward, Sweet, or Apple to see about a custom built rack." I'll see if I can make some calls tomorrow and see what I can find out.

Looks like Woodward has some possible options, definitely calling them in the morning..

There are mechanical fixes.. search here first. And call FFR (that’s what I did and got a new rack from them).

In spoke with Tony (owner) at Woodward this morning and WOW did we get in to steering geometry way over my head, and pretty sure he could tell I was lost and realized I wasn't comprehending. told me to do a lot of reading of his tech manuals.
