I've been working on the Control Freaks IFS. I finished up today except for the steering mods.

...Had a little gourmet moment looking at your car... Thanks for the flavor; I love that color.
This color goes along with a particular sixties movement that expected there would be 'The Age of Aquarius' and human intellect and culture would begin flourish like never before... ...and AMX won SAE's "Best Engineered Car of the Year" in '69 (and again in '70; 2 yrs in a row) |

I got the steering linkage connected up. I had to cut part of the main shaft down to do so. Removing the shaft end caused A LOT of deflection due to the compound U-Joint. To eliminate the deflection I machined a collar clamp for the end of the steering column tube. The clamp eliminated a lot of the deflection but the original bearing design still allows more deflection than I want. I've ordered a 1x1.75x1 needle bearing to eliminate the remaining deflection. I will pull the nylon steering tube bushing and machine it to accept the new bearing. Doing this should stiffen everything up nicely. On a side note I backed my truck into my 74 javelin this weekend. Fortunately I have another hood. I just need to prep it and get it to my body man for paint.    |
