i'm thinking of taking a screwdriver and cutting it short then cutting the end off the ignition key for my nissan dailey driver and brazing them together... so it looks like a screwdriver for the ignition switch

The Elite looks great, that was quite the transformation!

Be careful driving in Massachusetts. I once hit a pothole that went to some small village in south-east Asia. If you're interested in a right front ti-rod, I'm sure my old one is still there.
