Thanks for the comments. I'm trying. The 'ol cherry-picker really comes in handy to move the body around, especially when you are a "one-man-show". Gonna start hitting it hard again before the wife and I take off for another month long camping trip out to California,again.

Ballwin, Mo? Hey, were neighbors. I'm just down the road in Festus.

You are so right about retirement. We love it. Say, I see you are from Michigan. My wife and I lived there,Sault Ste Marie, many,many ears ago (1965-1967)while I was stationed at Kincheloe A.F.B. with the 449th Bomb Wing,SAC before going overseas. Was just up there,in the U.P., visiting and camping this past fall.

We'er in the far south part of MI a little north of state line, but we have been to the UP many times it is so nice up there year round there are things to do. went river rafting there in Feb. 2 years ago realy fun. Only 6 to 8 hr drive depending on how you go.

Yeah, it's nice up there, but let me tell you, winter is brutal, especially when you have to work outside like I had to do. Plus, in the summer, mosquitos are like sparrows.

Need some help. I need to know if someone out there can give me the measurement, on a Mustang II power steering rack, from the front side (pointing to front of vehicle) to the furthest point to where the power steeringlines are. Hopefully, that makes sense.

Looks Cool. I can relate to slow projects

Do you want from the rack mounting to the pump mounting?

Thanks for the reply. What I actually need is, on the rack, if you waqnt to call it the side that is NOT against the chassis mounting brackets , from that point to where the metal lines on the rack are, the furthest distance.
