A quicksteer changes the ratio of the turns between the steering wheel and the steering box. By doing this, an input of one half of a turn on the wheel might be the equivalent of a full turn of the steering shaft at the box. I knew a guy in the BF series who only had a 1/4 turn each direction on his wheel to fully rotate saves a lot of time at speed, apparently it takes some getting used to...

Looks nice Johnny , what class are you running Prolight? Kinda surprised you didn't make adjustable coil buckets for the rear to transfer weight in the back for the drags ...

Kinda surprised you didn't make adjustable coil buckets for the rear to transfer weight in the back for the drags ... yep we`re going prolite this year. Looking back the coil bucket idea wasn`t such a great one because there is only about 1/4 of an inch between my springs and the bucket. going to run it as-is for a few races and if it doesn`t work out so great i`m going to modify it a bit. Hoping next year I might dig up the funds to go with coilovers all around !

haha its got some ford parts, some chevy, a refridgerator door for the floorpans, weight lifting bench for box braces,bed rails for reinforcement under the box, old condenser pipes and freshwater pipes from a boat for control arms,all the steel plating is scrap from a shipyard, and I even used a piece off of a herring processing machine for the nut strap in my harness.... if there wasn`t already a truck named "scrap metal" i think i`d have to take it lol

Keep up the good work man .
