Here is mine with mentioned upgrades. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMgXSAjGZrM I added quicker steering and I like it better. You will need stronger power steering shafts when adding quicker steering.

It is always great to watch the video of Rogers 38. Brian Forehand also did the set-up on my 38.
