The indie folk-rock violinist's new EP, Hark!, follows his aptly-titled, GRAMMY nominated LP, My Finest Work Yet. Like Los Lobos, current GRAMMY nominee Andrew Bird has dropped his first holiday album several decades into his career (his first album came out in 1996).

My power steering pump was from my Mustang. I simply fitted all the joints to complete the links. I turned a piece of nylon on the lathe to fit inside the column, bored a clearance hole for the steering shaft and left a collar so it can't move up the column. Some restorers put a ball bearing at the end of the steering column. Power steering is such a gift on classic Fords. I used 'double-D' configuration joints that positively bear all the steering shaft stress. NONE of my steering components are welded except for the bracketry. You could say that I started at the rack gear and worked my way up to the steering column.Īll my hardware was purchased from except for the nylon bushing I made at the very end of my steering column. I made another bracket for the 'swivel eyelet' using the top frame holes. I mocked-up the rack gear and fabricated simple plates to accommodate the frame holes and the rack gear rubber mounts. Ford welded 'curlicues' that surround the bolts, inside the frame halves. That's why you've never seen the frame 'crush' under the torque required for the steering box or idler arm. The big reason why is because the holes are reinforced inside the frame. Since ours is an automatic, I used all the stock frame holes for my conversion. Ok so, manual shift clutch pedals use a "Z" bracket that mounts to the frame. I've swapped parts and services for years with many of my restorer buddies. I was happy to give him mine, so it still lives.

I converted my stock Town & Country radio to play AM/FM/MP3 (with full 'seek' function ala: Gary Taymann Electric), I converted my vacuum wipers to electric (New Port Engineering) with full squirts and interval wipers (using stock dash knobs), I converted to power disk brakes with dual reservoir M/C, electric fan with 130-amp alt., and power rack and pinion steering. Is yours a modified stock column?From inside my car, everything looks bone stock. I have heard and seen some pictures of people retrofitting a R&P in the past. MalHey Mal! I don't have any advise but I am really interested in the process!!! Take LOTS of picture and share with the rest of us!! I am happy to order any parts, but due to the implication of non return and import duties etc would like to try to get parts that I know will work. The steering rack isn't so much the problem, but, my main question for anyone who has completed this is how do you connect the steering column to the rack? I know I am going to need a universal joint somewhere, but do I have to try and use the drop arm from the T-Bird steering box, do I have to modify the steering column and remove the box? I have seen various threads and pictures on this conversion but have been unable to get a positive answer to this problem.

I'm glad I was able to take care of business."Īt 174 pounds, Jacob Morrissey blanked his fourth opponent of the season with a 4-0 outing against Ryan Christensen thanks to takedowns in the first and third periods. "The win is huge for me, especially having my parents here and it being senior night," Pae said. Not only did the win satisfy Pae, but the setting of the match made it even sweeter. It was great to see him take advantage of an opportunity." "On short notice, we brought Cody up and he answered the call. "How about Cody Pae stepping up on senior night!" Ersland said. The win, coming in the 40th match of his career, lifted him to 15-6 on the season.Įven though Pae is a redshirt junior, it was his senior night too as he has opted to forgo his final year of eligibility to graduate in May. He tacked on his final point with 1:01 of riding time to leave Holloway with his arm raised. "Something that Coach Ersland always preaches is being ready, so when he asked me, I was ready to go."Īfter an escape to start the second period, Pae took the Badger down and scored another takedown in the third. "They asked me and I was ready to," Pae said. I knew I was wrestling hard and I knew he couldn't really do anything."Ĭody Pae, who has wrestled his entire career at 133 pounds, answered the call and delivered for Purdue at 141 pounds by defeating Cole Martin 6-0. It was a little different match from the last time we wrestled. "The whole match I could feel him slowly starting to wear down. "Going into sudden victory, I knew I had him," Welch said. The redshirt junior picked up his 18th victory, which is the most he has won in a season. The winning takedown came 22 seconds into sudden victory and Welch avenged a 7-1 loss to Stickley from the Las Vegas Wrestling Invitational in December. I was thinking about what was going to go on in overtime and I was already looking for the next points." Then I heard the other ref say it was a takedown, so I was confident. "I was just waiting on the call, and if the coaches would challenge it, the refs will see it. Immediately Purdue head wrestling coach Tony Ersland challenged the call, which was reversed to award Welch a takedown, making it 5-4, and sent it to sudden victory with his 1:38 worth of riding time. Time ticked away and with only seconds remaining, he got a high single on Stickley, looked for back points, but neither a takedown nor back points were awarded as time sounded.
