After being a golf pro all summer and my son being born October 15th I am finally back at building my 47 ford. I have suspension well on its way and motor mounts mocked up. Now I am trying to figure out steering on the cheap. Aside from vega boxes does anyone have a recommendation for a box...

So it has finally started to make a bit of progress. Thanks to everyone who helped me through some good and bad ideas and a big thanks to BillM for the front suspension design idea. I will post as often as I can but being a golf pro in Canada my time is about to be very limited but I will...
