Pics of the power steering setup, finally got the lines to where they don't leak.
Pics of upper radiator hose, which is out of a sunfire/cavalier 2.2 liter engine.
Finished cosmetic pic, I think It looks really nice.

We got the power steering lines fixed, to where they don't leak any more. So we started the truck and after about 5 seconds of running, and huge waterfall was coming out from under the truck. The rack and pinion blew the main seal where the shaft goes into, the only thing we could figure happened is air got into it. We bought a rebuild kit from Rockauto for $40.00, had all new clips and seals and o-rings. Well one thing lead to another, and we messed up 3 of the teflon o-rings trying to get them onto the shaft.
Finally got tired of messing with it, and went to the Chevy dealer, which believe it or not had the lowest price on the rack and pinion $349.00 BRAND NEW not rebuilt.

Here's pics of the glorious rebuild kit, the shaft with the 4 o-rings we messed up. In the one pic you can see a meta shard that actually broke the seal, and I threw a pic of my newly painted bowtie and V-8 emblem. Until next time!!
You do realize that the little v8 thing you used was mainly used by ford right?

In the newer fords or older ones?? I am thinking your talking about 30's style model A's, but no I did not know that. I actually got the idea from the v8 colorados, they come from the factory with the exact same v8 badges, but the factory puts them on the front fenders. I just figured I would try something different, I did originally buy 2 to make a clone of the factory v8 but then soon changed my mind.
