I'm gonna go back and read this entire thread later, but I thought I would just let you know the links on a bunch of your pictures are dead. Looks great so far though!

Yea I spent a while re organizing my photobucket and I moved some of the photo's so thats prob why some of them aren't visible. But I might close this thread and start a new one.. Anyways.. here's some progress. Degreased, cleaned, and painted my steering rack. And got a little Heat deflective Gold tape on my hard lines. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. New Steering Rack Bushings and painted my bushing cuplings.

Almost done.. just need to do one more hardline..

how'd you get the tie-rod ball joints out without the SST? I'm having trouble with mine, and one of the bolts and nuts are rusted together and just spin as one unit

Why did you tape the lines? It looks cool.

It's a heat deflective tape. In all honesty..it's not needed. But I have it and it will deflect heat away from the hardlines

My goal is to keep under hood temps under control while at the track..in the summertime. It gets ridiculously hot out here in the desert. I'm about 20 min from Willow Springs international raceway....if any of you guys have ever been to an event out there in the summer i'm sure you know what i'm talking about. But besides that... It looks damn good IMO
