WOW......  I  just got power steer fitted to the '60 Ponti.....What a difference it makes....  I feel like I am driving a little Barina or something it's so easy to turn.

Can't wait till the next skid pan day!!!

Was a HQ power steer box.

Now just need to change the control arm bushes and ball joints and shocks....and it should be a new car to drive!

Good one Greg, just hope for you it will fit in those small parking spots:rol:

Next thing you know, you'll be fitting power windows, cruise control and power door locks!:lol:  

I can tell you it will be easy to park it now!
May have a little overhang out of the small car spots.

Power Steer is as luxurious as the '60 Ponti will get.
Hey...it still has house carpet in the front!


Next year....it may get a makeover if work is good.
It needs it badly!

How much did it cost you to fit if you don't mind me asking?

$650

He had to make up the brackets, shorten steering shaft etc.
I supplied the box and pump.

I wish I had of done it 10 years ago!!!

thats prity good

I was more than happy with the cost.
Shane does great work.
He is doing all the Fabrication work on the 57 for me.

I know it won't break!!

I bought the box and pump about 7 years ago....and only just cracked the $hit$ in a car park in Penrith a week or so when it took a 500 Point turn to get out of the Coffee Club carpark.    My arms were rooted!!!
It got booked in 2 days later.


I bought some suspension stuff from Ponti world today...so it goes back in 2 weeks to get new ball joints, control arm bushes and Tie rod ends fitted.

And the sway bar needs new mounts made up to clear the steering arm as it sits lower than the original stuff.

Its alot of fun to drive now.

cool Greg, seems to be getting there for the Pontiac Nationals:fingers:

Just like to thanks Dave for his excellent service.

Ordered lunchtime yesterday and the package turned up at 7.30am this morning.

Yes....It will be at the Ponti Nats.
