    John, loving this build. On your steering column extension. May I suggest you drill through the flange and tube, then insert a roll pin? That way if the weld somehow fails you will not lose steering. Again, just a suggestion from an old-timer. Cheers.

    Great video, John. From a safety standpoint, a square rod within a square tube with a breakaway pin so the column isn't pushed into your chest is the way to go. I'm just thinking of your health, buddy.

    At any normal show, I wonder how many people wouldn't realize how much extra work went into this because they won't know you cut the pinch off. It's so subtle.

    Im not the biggest fan of the double rag joint to be honest. Its a soft point on top of a softpoint. Also two points of wear and possible failure.
    I do agree its nice to be able remove everything really easily, but I would suggest replacing atleast one of those 2 rag joints with either a universal joint or just a steel plate that has the same bolt patern as the rag joint.
    Other than that I am loving the progress. Really makes me jalous as europe doesnt like chassis swaps that much!

    Double rag joints? -sorry but I’m not a fan. Plus that vw (gray) rag joint looks like urethane, which are commonly reported to fail. I like urethane parts, but in a non-safety style rag joint you could end up with a serious problem.
