You need one, I've got one in my garage, somewhere. Just pm me, you get the shipping, I know its stock and all, but I believe its 78 or 75 mm, and it mounts forward, you want it, lemme know I'll get a pic for you
You are the freakin man. Got it today!

Anyway, here are a few pics just to update it. Waiting on the A/C bracket to do much more welding.

Glad you got it, hope it works for ya...just give it a little cleaning. like I said, I accidently bought two of them, and I believe that one is the one off of the camaro, as the spring color would imply. Looks like your on the right track, now time to get it running man!

many people here are doing the swaps in all types of vehicleds, this is so that you can search through there and see what detent cables ect you'll need. I'd also recommend calling the people at summit racing...they might be able to tell you as well.

another question. Which size AN should I run? I dont plan on running more than 500-550 in the next couple years, but don't want to go too big. I would run the factory style line, but love the look of the SS

Painted the frame yesterday. thinned 16 oz. of rustoleum semi-gloss black w/2.5 oz acetone. After a full day, it is still not fully dry, and very glossy. Any ideas why?

The steering box on the other hand, I am happy with. Brushed on some black hammered and I think it looks good.

Too thinned out to dry yet? Too humid? Only thing I can think of, specially the humid part. Should have just used the hammered on it as well lol :p Looks like its coming along great though!

The hammered is too gray for my taste on the frame. How thin should I make it? I am considering getting TSC Paint for it, or hammering it...
