It's looking like I will need to move my steering column in the panel..
Right now it's on the vertical section of the firewall looks as though if I put it through the toe board just a little higher than the original opening it will work with 3 U-joints..

How long will it take to move your steering column in the panel John?
That immovable object looks like it was a ton of extra work Perry.

I was going to put a post at the garage corner but there was 6" of concrete there so I figured that I would put it beside the other post and have both gate hanging posts side by side 40" away from the garage. Dug down 6" and surprise, more concrete, sent down a couple of more probes and 7' out I was still hitting concrete. So I dug out the skill saw that has a concrete blade and hoped that there was no rebar as this blade kicks back when you hit rebar. Tomorrow I'll dig out the 2 holes and plant the posts. I'm going to wind up with a 13'6" vehicle gate but one section will be a bifold. My jobs always seem to have a catch to them.

I think that`s got almost got me beat but I did build a corral fence with a space in it for a tree many yrs back. Now the corrals and cattle are long gone but that big old tree is still happily living there.
