Race cars, modified street cars and hot rods are pretty evenly split between cars with rack and pinion steering and those with old school recirculating ball steering boxes. What’s the difference between racks and steering boxes?
When we last left you, our body cart project was well on its way. To recap, the idea here is to craft a body cart that is easy to construct, relatively inexpensive, and, if you don’t need it anymore, easy to dispose of (hey, you can always burn the wood for a bonfire!).
