Steering system installed

Next on the list was the steering system. I borrowed my husband's drill press to drill the holes for the brake light switch mount.

Then drilled the holes in the frame for the master cylinder mount. 

Master cylinder mount brackets were painted glossy black to match the frame.

Getting the brake and accelerator pedals installed. Always nice when you can sit in the engine bay of the car to reach these places.

Once the pedals were installed, I had to do a test fit of the driving position. ;-)

Installing the steering shaft.

Got the front steering rack bolted on and the shaft attached.

And the shaft from the rack to the cockpit.

Everything has been fitted up, so I just need to temporarily disconnect the shaft to paint and install another aluminum panel, which is the one that goes behind the master cyclinders. After that I'll install the shaft again, do the final bolt up, and loctite all of the screws that require it.
