So what all is involved in moving the steering column over? And how much clearance do you think it gained you? Awesome build by the way.

here are some pics

ang here is a pic of where the steeringshaft was before and i actually would have had to notch the header about a quater of an inch and it still would have been less then an eighth inch away and that was the smaller inside shaft if you look way to the right you can cee the rubber bushing just barely in the picture

Damn Kam! Don't know what your long term careeer plans are--but if you did all this welding and fabrication, you should definitely look into working in a NASCAR team shop or top end street rod builder. You got skills! BTW--suspension parts are all boxed up and ready to ship...
