You can see in the picture above how the original builder welded a hump in the pan to go over the stering rack.
I'm going to lower the rack & weld the pan back to normal.
Never did like that hump, as it will hold oil back as well as hold "gunk" .
Car is a 72. Anyone lower a rack before ?
Anyone see a reason to not lower the rack ?
I know I will have to change the rag joint out. Going with a smaller dia. knuckle type joint. If I have to, I'll also notch the cross member for this, to get it low enough to clear the pan.
I do not have those headers, seen in the picture. I am having new headers made.
