Anyone ever run collapsible Steering shaft?

[XtremeMopar#307]

I personally used the section from my 91 mercury to build my one...

I just used 2 heim joints with lock collars, 3/4" knuckles (one 3/4 round to 3/4" round, one 3/4" round to spline of box), two pieces of square tube for the slip area (3/4" and 1" with 11ga wall) a quick release, and my custom unbendable wheel.

As your front end comes up the steering box goes with it if you have a solid shaft your wheel will travel towards you with the frame.

No, that is what the removable steering wheel is for (if you so desire)

Some people forget that we were all rookies once. The whole purpose of this website is to learn and share ideas/tips regarding demolition derbys.

That's understood but when the info is rite above where they ask their question I LOL!!! Like Lincoln said did you not just read what was posted. I just wish 13 years ago I had access to half the info that is rite in front of the "rookie" face . As you know I started thread so i'm still trying for good advice. I also spend a lot of time reading everyone elses posts so I don't ask same question that's been answered 50 1100 times . I'm not sayin jus saying you sure have patience that's y you are the moderator an i'm just a loser I mean user lol

I don't claim to be an expert on anything. I can only offer what I have experienced and direct users to the appropriate thread. I have been building cars for 15 years and every car that I build is better than the last one. Thanks to trial/error and some useful information that I have picked up from reading all the post on here. I wish that I had had Wecrash many years ago. It would have kept me from wasting a ton of clean old iron by not knowing what I was doing.
