I’ve been rewatching all the ‘32 videos. You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself, you have good looking welds. I was taught after you weld throw it hard on the concrete floor, if it stays together it’s a good weld.

I haven't been here for awhile . Spectacular content . No bs . Right to the point while keeping things simple and sharing your knowledge. I always learn something while watching. Thanks .
Welcome back!
You make this look so easy awesome job as always 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦👍👍
I knew that you would do the right thing 😂😂 nice job Lee 👍
I have never seen a steering shaft go in, quite interesting. You are right, I did learn something. As I suspected Loctite will be used, Thanks
Always an interesting session, thanks Lee...:-)
I love when you find something like the bearing that just works like it was made for your use. It looks so clean. That little inset you put on the driver side of the firewall cut-out - is such a great touch. The whole thing looks like it was designed - beautiful work as usual Lee ! I give it a 10 out of a 10 !
Thanks
Handy tip for the bead roller, I swapped an old steering wheel in replacement for the hand crank makes so much easier to use as a one person operation.
It’s been on my list of things to do since I bought this bead roller 15 years ago 😆
I was just working on the steering on my 29 Ford hotrod. This was great info. Thanks.
Glad it helped!
Nice work. Very. Neat. B we better. Than factory. Thanks
Looks real nice and the fit-up is great. Your customer is going to have fun and be safe. Nice work.
Glad that you made new boards look good
Good work sir!!
Just an observation,would a piece of round solid stock fit inside the steering column shaft and give it a little more meat to support the swivel joint.(seemed thin on camera after you ground it).Keep up the good work,enjoying it.
I did consider that actually, and if it was a manual rack I think I would. But being power, there is such minimal stress on the column tube I think it’ll be okay.
Very nice craftsmanship, 🫵🏼💯🆒
Dude!!! Great video!!! The finished floor/firewall!!! Looks great!!! The shop looks and sounds busy!!!✌️
Pedal positioning will be interesting. Cool build and content
Great progress. Keep those videos coming.
Nice job... the experience and skill you possess make it look easy.
Each time I do it, it gets a little easier and I learn a little more
Another great episode…hope you guys are keeping warm.
Always nice and warm in the shop!
Perfect👌👌
To stop that bearing from turning you could cut a gap in its flange and put a tab in it.
🤠👍 works good.
On my bead roller in mounted the handle backwards. Lets me reach it easier while keeping my eyes on the part.
Good tip. A steering wheel also works good. Or an electric motor with a foot pedal.
The Eastwood retro fit electric motor works great! I have the same bead roller and added the electric motor, works like a charm and super reasonable price.
Hi Lee. I noticed that when you were moving the steering wheel, the boots on the tie rods were rubbing the frame. Seems like it will be worse with weight on the wheels.
I never noticed that! I’ll check that out, thanks
Looks like you created a week point on end of column. The flat spots make that real thin. Should have maybe cut a little shorter and tinged a small piece of double d solid stock. Just my 2 cents
If it was a manual rack I think I’d be concerned, but being power there is going to be very minimal stress on the column shaft.
Hey Lee, you could save yourself some hassle with that steering column bearing fit... take the tube and bearing in to a place that has a hydraulic hose crimper ( the kind of tool that installs ferrules on the end of hoses) and have tem give the tube a light squish...
I dunno man, the hydraulic shops around here are so scared of liability lawsuits they won’t even make brake hoses or power steering lines anymore.
It’s a good idea though. I’m confident I can get it tightened up in there
do you need to install bump stops?
I don’t think it needs any. Most aftermarket IFS front ends do not have bump stops
You should have cored the steering shaft. You removed alot of material and strength.

I think it’ll be okay with a power rack. If it was a manual rack absolutely, but the power rack doesn’t put a lot of stress on the column shaft
