I also picked up crow 3” 5 point belts for the car.
Over the weekend my friend and I started taking measurements on the car to lay out the new cage and we noticed that the rear torsion housing is bent Up on one side buy a good amount. Causing the camber on that side to be off. Not sure what I want to do with that yet.

So after alot of debate I'm stripping the car down to start over with a fresh body I have a 66 body I'm going to start over with,

full tube car its going to be insane.

But first I have the body and cage of this car for sale if anyone is interested in body cage pan and current registration hit me up.

This is the beam that came off my other car as is, it has almost no bump steer. the tie rods are clear of obstruction through there limits of travel.
Any more pics of this steering?
Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.
