kwoo510 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I bought a non running 65' 320 5 years ago, and my adventure began... As in March, 2013, I start seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I still have long way to go, though. Enjoy the video! Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Awesome!!! I couldn't see the steering linkage.....any shots of how you dealt with that? Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 VG30 is it? That's the first one I ever seen running in a 320 though. Good job, have fun finishing your project, and then the prize at the end, you get to drive it. Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Awesome! Thanks! I looked at the rest of the pics in there too. So the vertical pieces that connect the rack to the tierods are slotted? You welded a bar across the bottom after they were set? I'm guessing that is all because the rack had to be lowered for clearance with the oil pan? Very nice install and appears to be solid! That sure is a short rack!! Quote Link to comment
kwoo510 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Nicely done - is this thing is going to be plush to drive or what? most likely this will be a weekend cruiser and groceries getter Quote Link to comment

kwoo510 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Mike, the slotted vertical pieces are my test gauge; to test how high my tie rods to be mounted. The final pieces I have on the truck right now are not slotted. Yes, the rack had to be lowered to clear the oil pan and the vertical pieces are for correcting the potential bump steer.

mklotz70 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Ahh...perfect. Thanks for explaining that. The slots were my only concern, but having them for mock up makes perfect sense. Awesome! :) Quote Link to comment
