Newbie to your group, so try to and forgive.
I am building a hot rod with my 11 year old son, which will be his first car. Bought a kit for a 66 VW buy, gives it a hi-boy look. The problem is assembling the straight axel fron end. I have a 4" drop axel but need to run it with a behind the axel spring. Is it possible to put the tie rod to the front side of the axel, as there is limited room behind and steering linkage has to clear the top of the hump in the pan. Any suggestions, will try and port pic's of the parts I have . Thanks all.
