Hmmm,... I'll look at that. Thanks!

Get a racecar going before you take that apart, please. The larger stock steering wheel would make it easier to turn too, in the meantime.

I do have a couple extra arms sitting around that I could cut down and see if I like it or not.... Thanks for that one too!
The Dart schtuff will happen whenever. Not a huge priority at the moment. I did fiddle with the Duster the other day.
Frank stopped by to get his upgraded trailer and we chatted for awhile. It was good to see him. (But now I ain't got no trailer to git the Duster to the track...  Maybe I'll swap the 8 3/4 into it so I can use the tow dolly)

Yeah, you should hang on to it. 
I'll likely get some good stuff from Firm Feel if/when I do this one since I plan on putting it through its paces.

I came back from Iraq in 2005 in great shape (37), although my knees were kinda startin' to go just a little. The back's been an issue since November 2000. 
I came back from Afghanistan in 2010 in not such great shape (42), knees and back both much worse, lost about 35 pounds (gained all back now ) and I developed this nervous twitch every time I see a post from Cookie! 
I'll still be able to handle my own though.

I would be very leary of anything from Unisteer. They have a well deserved reputation for selling half thought out poorly built crap.

A fellow at church has a brand new Nissan, and complained to me about it being twitchy and all over the road. He did some research, and found out it is the factory electric assist steering. Kicks in every time there is a fraction of movement detected in the wheel, making the car annoying to drive._________________  |
