Thanks Travis!

I made a little more progress this weekend on some things that have been bugging me for a little while. First, I replaced some airline fittings that were leaking at the swivel (seemed like an odd place for a leak). Of course they were in the most difficult place to deal with . Once that was done, I installed a new closer ratio RedHead power steering box. The factory box was a 16:1 ratio (4 turns lock to lock) and it felt like I was steering an aircraft carrier . The new one is a 14:1 ratio (3.5 turns lock to lock). I know that doesn't seem like much, but it feels so much better and is a lot less "work" to maneuver this beast, . I also got my headliner bows finished. Will try to install them today and then I can call the headliner D.O.N.E.

Are your headliner bows reconditioned factory ones or ??? I would love to see how they came out. Mine are in but if they ever have to be removed I don't have much confidence in my ablity to remove them without damage.

A buddy of mine painted my originals with some "special" automotive chrome paint. Not exactly like the originals, but I think they will look good. Will post picswhen installed.
