I did a pre-purchase inspection of a 1951 3100 with a small block V8 and a M-II front suspension for a potential purchaser in France. The asking price was $75K, so it was a VERY fancy resto-mod. The steering shaft tried to lock up every half turn of the wheel due to some radical angles between the fancy IDIDIT steering column and the rack & pinion, due to some sharp angles the U joints in the steering shaft made. Obviously, I included that in my report, and I believe the buyer backed out of the deal. It's possible to do it right, but a LOT of people have no clue how to route the steering shaft. Do your homework, and have a basic understanding of geometry before committing to a installation!
