Rspears,

Thanks for the welcome. I have checked out the Fatman MII IFS. From what research I have done they make the best one. Not sure if I'm going to go that route or the dropped straight axle. I have to admit that I'm leaning towards the MII IFS.

So, you said my first step (after the carb and TV cable adjustment on the transmission) would be the front suspension. Then I could figure everything else out. I'm assuming that after choosing the steering column I would want to use would be the second step? Would the Fatman suspension come with a rack and pinion? Is the rack and pinion the way I want to go? Would this be a good time to incorporate the power steering? Will I have to be careful of what angle I mount the steering column in order for the linkage and universal joints to fit? I'm assuming the DD shafts is what I'm calling the linkage. What if exhaust manifold is in the way. Get different exhaust?

Sorry so many rapid fire questions. But as I stated, I'm a first time builder and know almost nothing.

Thanks,
Bill
