Hey, Streets,

Just wanted to let you know I wasn't cracking on you or anyone else (I did fear how my comments would be taken when I wrote that). Point well taken on the condition of most cars in junkyards. When you live in the rust belt like I do, alot of that crap looks pretty wicked, so it appears that they're all used up. As for myself, I don't have enough experience modifying stuff, so that's why I don't usually hunt a junk yard as my first source. And when you got companies like Mavel Gear making a rack and pinion setup designed to bolt in place of a Vega gearbox, well that looks a bit more attractive than trying to mod salvaged steering parts....at least for a guy like me. If you've never done it before, it can look pretty scary. So, maybe this is my confession that maybe I should do alittle more playing with stuff and not give into the fear. Some of these manufacturers have spoiled us!
