67/68/69 cuda dilemma

Correct junkyard manual shift column with ignition key interlock. This thing fought us on disassembly. The bearings were "crunchy" we cleaned them up with lacquer thinner and some compressed air. Repacked them with Aeroshell 22. Had to carefully drill out the old lock cylinder. No keys.

Now it's got a new lock cylinder, new ignition electrical switch, new turn signal switch, and I had an old grant 15" wheel I tossed in, he just had to buy the adaptor kit. Lock cylinder unlocks and locks nice and smooth.

Sometime this week, I'm going to mask off everything, scuff and spray the column with a nice matte black finish. It will sit where it's at for the next 2 weeks, and then we will install it back in the truck.
