not sure if you mean me but...

Im now a 2 man operation. I have a helper turning parts on my lathe part time. Helps me by having pieces ready for me.

Im also not in a Garage, never have been. I used to have a small shop about the size of a garage. Now I have my shop set up at my job. in a 54,000 sq ft building. The fab area is about 2,000 sq ft but the big machines like the CNC plasma, 2 Brake presses, Iron worker, shear, etc are all in other areas.

OK I have started this project by buying a front clip to start on. I also have located a 79-93 Mustang steering rack. The next step is to mock up the clip on a stand here in the shop.

I'll update as soon as I have something

Personally, Im a fan of most racks, I'm not too picky, but if I had to choose, I would go with a c cup.

I have a design sketched out, been going thru suspension design books and have an overall idea. I have a front clip from a truck and have room at the shop. just havent gotten enough time to dig into it fully yet.
