  Steering repairs are some of the most satisfying. Love how much better the feedback through the wheel is. Good stuff!

  Hey Mike! Your 55 Chevy looks tough as a short bed Man! The radiator fits in there nice. Should drive like new with the front suspension rebuilt. Take it slow in the hot weather, get you something cold to drink. I enjoyed seeing the little pickup truck on the table. Have a good one Buddy
