Re: Kell's Two Cents - 1946 build

It seems like a pretty basic linkage setup but man it's still tight in there...

It should be noted too that running a 3" drop axle like I am throws off how the power steering box to upper steering arm are in relation, bringing them much closer together. The steering arm has minimal clearance.. It will move with the suspension and only has about an inch clearance when sitting at rest. I'm going to pick up this drop arm and see how much clearance I can get and take it from there.





The brake pedal setup from Progressive Automotive (makers of the X-Member) comes up right at the steering column. My buddy gave it a quick bend and got me coming up at a nice location I can work with.







All in all these were pretty big steps for me. I have a ton of little work to do and bringing the whole thing together, but it sure feels like it's getting there. I'll catch y'all soon
