Hearty congrats and well done. The fun is just beginning. I'm a little surprised that the steering is heavy and the brakes fuzzy. With radials they usually steer light and the pedal should be quite firm. Maybe your kingpin thrust bearings are stopped up with fossilized grease. Try warming them gently with a torch and while still hot grease the bejeebers out of the kingpins. Rude, crude, but effective.

Pattern for the trunk divider is coming as soon as I get home in a few weeks.
