Doesn't need steering, thing is meant to go in a straight line. It only adds weight.

1000 HP cars never go straight, the wheel gets turned more times in the 1/4 mile than it would in a road race

The Chevelle is usually not too bad just as long as they line you up straight, its when your slightly off where the problems start.  You can turn the wheel as much as you want but the car is moving so fast it just pushes through it lol.

Gotta steer it like a tractor!  Thanks how Bob Riggle and Bill "Maverick" Golden did it back in the day.  ;D

For those that need a reference Bob Riggle drove/built the Hurst Hemi Under Glass, a wheel standing Barracuda.
Bill Golden drove/built the Little Red Wagon, a wheel standing Dodge A-100 truck.

Been a while since I updated this thread, I got the car running a few weeks ago and I drove it up the drive way and back last night.  Still a long way to go, but I have also come a long way.

Cool! moving under its own power is major step.  :punk:

Was just thinking about the whole GM motor/camaro brain/mustang body thing going on and the name Frankensteed just popped into my head.  :lol:

Rich and I took this unit to Montgomery last night, got it to go 10.51 @ 134 mph, not bad for a totally stock motor!
