Rack and Pinion Steering

The mustang is going to be getting a rack and pinion system. I purchased about half the kit from Steeroids, and fabricated the rest myself. I also aquired the rack itself from a different source. The Steeroids kit, like most for classic mustangs, is a j-car rack made by GM. This particular rack is a 1992 Chevrolet Cavalier rack. These picks are of the mock-up, with the rack just sitting in jack stands. I will have more pics on this in the future...

The project's beginnings...

I have owned this mustang for 7 years. I am the 3rd owner of this particular fastback, and she has 54,000 original miles on her. When I got the car, I built up the original 289 and did a basic restoration just to get the car back to a little better than a daily driver. The current project is going to take the car much farther. To start with, the car is getting stripped down to the bones and going on a rotisserie. For this build, there are several upgrades planned for the unibody, suspension, drivetrain, interior, and wiring system. Here is a photo of the car before I got started.
