1964 1/2 valiant build thread.

made some more progress this weekend. not as much as i had hoped but still got some **** done. here are pics of my spring relocation boxes installed.











then i got tired of being hunched over under the car and pulled the steering column to fix the mess in the engine bay. the car was a factory column shift car. I gutted all the shift parts and installed a collar bearing in the bottom after shortening the housing. here are some pics.

this was before.



and here is the progress. i had the bearing for my dart but never put it in. the 65 column has a 3/4" steer shaft instead of the 1" like in my dart. had to make a shim for the bearing but ended up working awesome.







this is where i cut the housing back.







here it is back in the car. should provide a bit more clearance for headers.
