Default Steering assembled and ready for chassis!

Well, I assembled everything on the living room floor so I can just bring the whole thing out to the garage to install. Everything was coated with POR-15 and Red parts were coated with Tie Coat Primer, painted red and clearcoated. The Tie rods and ends are from VBP.






Here's the PS Pump case and the brackets, Which got the same POR-15, primer, red, clear treatment.




I'm still waiting on the ps pump rebuild kit which should arrive next week.

Looks pretty sharp.
My ram leaks, so I didn't paint up the steering stuff.
I just swabbed it with grease for now.
Lucky you didn't dribble PS fluid on that nice white carpet.

Thanks Dave

I, of course, got my inspiration for my avatar from you. I hoped you wouldn't mind. Your frame is looking very good and that gold is growing on me - nice contrast! I'll switch to a front view once I get more done up there but there is something about the rear frame shot of a C3 that looks real cool.

I wish my Wife was still on this Earth to yell at me about the mess I am making. That's the next project after finishing the car, cleaning up and fixing/replacing everything I messed up while doing this frameoff.
