Wrapping up some small jobs still.I finished off the steering, I needed 2 feet of 3/4 double D steering shaft, two universal joints and one 3/4 spherical rod end with lock nuts. The rod end will support the shaft from moving around since the additional universal joint is needed.

The output shaft on the rack is an oddball size so I cut the end off the original CTS rag joint and welded it to one of the new universal joints.

From above. You can see the small pillow block that I made to mount the rod end. I used some 1" round tube and some 1/8" plate then welded a nut to the end of the tube.

Next up, seats. The original mounts on the front ends of the seat tracks were just hooks that went into slots on the CTS floor. I don't like them, never did. I cut off the hooks and made some feet out of 1/8" plate and drilled some bolt holes in them.

Moving on, I needed to fit up the A/C condenser. I knew I would need to modify one of the A/C lines, but I needed the condenser installed in order to see what I needed to do. It fits up nice and snug and the outlet line fits. I need to find some fittings and make the inlet line.
