NOTE: POST #3 CONTUNUES AT POST # 32.

Note the special relocated steering linkage set up and - of course - the inner fender apron cut-out. This is not like it was back then. Originally it came - as Steve says - with a RHD steering linkeage to make more room for the headers - probably from an Australian Ford. The apron was cut as for the debut of the car this RHD linkeage could not be located in time, so the normal linkeage had to be mounted differently.
