Das Werk SdKfz 251/1 Ausf D in 1/16th scale

You are right Bob, too much gearing and all to get the steering wheel to work with it. There would be the worm gear in the box then the weird 90° turn of the steering wheel itself. Yeah, not going to go that far.
Our old friend Wasabi San did it, or was it Randy Ditton on his Rat Rod? He had a rack and pinion steering gear.

I know I could make the gearing, but with how much mass would be pushing on it and the fact that you would be forced to use the steering wheel to turn the wheels if I did, NOT worth it. Something would break soon after.
