You can use the stock steering column, just need to weld a D bar into it. Well I should really say you cut the shaft from the steering box then weld the coupling and D bar. Very easy. I decided to change my column to a collapsible column which I bought on Ebay. It came out of a 69 Mustang.

I have to say I am very impressed with the R&C kit. Everything, and I mean everything, you need is in the kit. They also provide a dvd instructional video that shows you how to do the install. They go into every detail including how to pack the wheel bearings.

Here is what a finished one looks like inside, not mine.

 

Here is my 69 column. Installed the bearing in the end of the tube and the D bar.



Here is my filler plate welded in. Need to do a little filler then prime&paint

 

"Just think how easy it will be to R&R the spark plugs", whispered the devil on one shoulder.

 

wow...that is fine

 

Too funny

 

that looks swell. Is the rc-107 setup more for street or track?

 

the rc-107 looks like mustangII suspension. Is there any difference?

 

That coilover setup is slick.

Regarding replacing the shocks towers, I would simply cut and replace only what is needed. Replacing the entire shock tower can cause a bunch of pain since it can affect all the suspension angles on that side.

 

What's the difference? I can quickly adjust the ride height and the shocks are adjustable. I'm hoping it will be a track car on the street.


The RC106 is closer to a Mustang II suspension, at least according to their catalog. http://www.rcmotorsportsinc.com/rod__custom.pdf I'm no suspension expert just really like their product so I'm giving it a shot.

Scootchu, whatcha going to do? One of these weekends I need to take a ride down and see the new garage.

 

the difference is, for street is people usually are looking more for comfort and what not. Im looking for something stiff, that can take corners and still have adjustable ride hieght
