Yeti's 1990 454SS

well... she's back on the ground. Wheels were supposed to have shipped from Budnik last week, yet they still haven't, so that's a big bummer for me.

The only problem we have right now (and there were a lot pf them), is the steering rack conversion kit that I got seems pretty weak. The bracket flexes pretty bad when steering. Not sure if this is a common issue with them, but we are working to get it resolved. Im not sure I would use this company again.

Once we get the rack bracket issue resolved, it will be aligned and sent back home for the next round of goodies.

Well, that's a bummer, for sure. Stuff like that can sure suck all the excitement out of things.

Well, I will say this... dont EVER run Elevated Concepts rack and pinion steering kit for OBS trucks. This guy is completely unresponsive. I'll post the video of the rack to those interested on instagram, just lmk.

I ended up reaching out to Justin that builds the crazy ZR1500 and ZL1500 trucks on YouTube. He's the one that ran their kits that made me buy one. He had the same consensus, ECI bracket is meh. So we are strengthening the bracket and reinforcing it so it stops flexing so bad. Should be the fix, but it would have been nice of ECI to atleast respond and take ownership.

Glad you found a solution. Super frustrating when people don't even respond. Not to jump off topic but while we're on the company bashing for lack of response, NEVER buy from ELITE RACE FAB. Those people never responded to any emails after sending me the wrong part for my camaro. After 4 months of dispute process with the CC, I finally got my money back.

On a more positive note, I'm glad you're making progress. I'm excited to see it on the ground along with the new shoes when they come in.

Well… 3 of 4 wheels showed up today.
Looks like I’ll be able to get them mounted and balanced tomorrow maybe and then over to the shop to finalize ride height.

Exiting news.
