Brian S's Journal

Well, it was all done and looking good too, so i thought i would take her around to show a friend, and take him for a ride. All was going well until i turned to go up the final hill on the way home when about to pass a parked car i suddenly lost my steering...I had no time to brake and hit the rear end of my neighbors car at about 30 ks. The impact snapped both chassis rails and the passenger side fender. Luckily I was not hurt, the cars another story!!
The neighbor was extremely gracious about the whole thing and even towed me home. When building the Stutz I made sure all important nuts had a split pin through them. What had occurred her was the bolt that holds the steering shaft into the steering box universal came out, so the steering shaft came out of its housing. Tough lesson learnt. Double check everything.
