headlights, trans cooler & starting on figuring out the steering, using a vega box. gotta turn the arm around and re-clock it, other than that it should be easy to get it steerable.

good progress today, hoping to get a lot more done so l can be mobile soon.

more steering

getting real close to buttoning up the steering on THAT, couple more days, this heat is knocking my butt in the dirt, just don't function as well as l used to in it.

the steering rod from the box to the steering arm is race car/sprint car 4 link piece from the local race track that sells a lot of used parts at a decent price.

steering box is bolted in, now the rest of the steering assembly should be easy,

got the windshield stanchions bolted in and the rake is a whopping 54 degrees slanted back and windshield is gonna be 60 inches wide at the cowl, 65 inches wide at the top with about 17 inches in height.
