update........................

Ok I finally got off my butt and got gibby a list of items I needed after figureing out how I wanted to do the steering setup. One thing I disliked about going with a gm/jeep style column--was the width--take up knee space--and I wanted to give this rig all the space I could.

I had to start by removing the stock column mount on the dash. Damn--did they use some damn big/strong steel rivates for it..

As I mentioned early on--I only tached the dash bar on because I was unsure of its location. I cut the spot welds, knocked it off and cleaned it up. I ended up dropping it down 1.75" fvrom where it was--I wanted to go more but I had to leave just enough room for the windshield latchs--its a tight fit..

I had seen this on a buddys rig and thought to myself--thats what I have been looking for. This is from polyperformace...

Found the sweet spot and tacked it into place..

And then tached the cross braces into place to give it some strength..

And here it is mocked up--I had my 13 year old son sit in it--and its going to be perfect.

So are you putting a u-joint in the steering shaft before the floorboard or cutting a slot in the floorboard.
 
I did dale--got them yesterday, or was it weds...

I got some 3/4" rod but I need the orbitral to finish off that part of the setup..

I'll finalize that order on Monday - had to get paid.

You still have a lot of welding to do on the cage still?????
