For steering column on these what's everyone running. Was thinking a simple universal at the box and one piece rod to the wheel with 1 heim joint for it to slide and pivot on.

what do everyone thinks about raising the rad. support and firewall body mounts up to 2" so my tranny would have plenty of room. and what do you do with the hood. i see some cut the bend out. or keep it there.

Without a trans brace my first caddy had 3” spacers at the firewall if I remember right

Ive put 2" spacers in the firewall for more room before on a limited weld. The hood all depends on the rules, but I generally always cut the beak off the front.

Never tilt a caddy. Get your pressure and call it a day.

Just asking just to know. Never built a caddy and have no plans to. Why never tilt one? What’s the reasoning behind this?

My GUESS is its very common for them to go right behind the a arm at the s curve when they bend, especially if you fix a arms forward with a good bumper brackets, plate, etc. Tilting exacerbates that tendency. Tilting also tends to give you a lower rear bumper, which can be an issue on the rears of caddies given the difficulty some have building the trunk.
