Working on 67 valiant. TTI shorty headers. Got rid of the 3 on the tree column for a floor shift column cause I put a 4 speed in it. After I Did the engine/ trans swap the end of the column was about an eight of an inch away from the header tube. Prolly good enough but I like space.
Here's what I did. Pulled the column out and took it apart. Cut 2 inches off the outer tube and 2 inches off the inner tube. Moved the shaft lock ring up 2 inches and put it back together.

Nice, 99 percent of people would never notice.
 
Had to do the same thing on my 66 Dart. Yours looks great. Nice job on the fab!

Which one of my cars looks great, my 69 383-s I sold a while back or my 71 Barracuda project car? Sorry, wrong Rod
