Is that a manual rack??? ive been looking at those for some extra weight loss, but i cant stand manual steering with the extra bump steer. How do those feel when driving?

looking good. To bad I'm damn cheap to do that myself. How did you like the fitment of there products? Did it come with everything but the brakes? Steering shaft rack etc? How did you like the quality of the parts.

hey bud, next time you get a chance to get a close up shot of the car please take a pic of the window trims channels.... i noticed that they are painted on the passenger side and driver???? ive been thinking about this because i dont think i can replace the chrome molding that runs along the channel..how does it over all look on your car..does it look out of place being painted? its hard to tell from pics?

it really all depends on the manufacturer....some have it going with the rotation of the wheel...

I was thinking about it until I bought another 67. I guess I'll have to live with the annoying squeak for a while. Funny part is both the damn 67's have that same annoying sound from the front end oh well.
